The 10th GLANDORE CLASSIC REGATTA FEEDBACK SURVEY

 

The 10th GLANDORE CLASSIC REGATTA

 

We are just finished the sailing programme at Glandore Classic Regatta. Most of the classes have had six races completed. Wednesday conditions were really light, the offshore race for the Cruiser classics , Gaff rigged and Workboats was shortened, the harbour fleets enjoyed light and sunny sailing in the harbour.

Wednesday evening following sailing the Prizegiving was hosted at Casey's bar at the top of the village. This was followed later by an RNLI Pub quiz at the same bar.

Thursday we were favored with a little more wind conditions were warm light though not so sunny. All classes had two races and today the Race officer John Wyles set a course to bring the Dragons Fife's and Squibs out to the Club mark at the east end of Rabbit Island.

Thursday the Prize giving was at Hayes' bar, later that evening in Hayes' the Poet and Sailor Theo Dorgan did a reading form his Sailing for home and Time on the ocean books

Friday racing was abandoned in the afternoon as there was no visibility in the harbour because of heavy rain and mist. the weather improved in the evening and the official opening by Theo Dorgan was followed by a reception for sponsors and sailing, music was provided by the Lane family and later by Jimmy Crowly.

Saturday morning racing went well for some, others not so well, wind was hightst we had seen during the week and with over 60 boats racing in the harbour the view was spectacular.

The Parade of sail went off really well though the wind was on the heavy side, Crane out for travelling boats went ahead after the parade of sail.

 

Regatta Prizegiving took place at the Marine Hotel, Saturday night this was follwoed by the Regatta dineer in the Marine Hotel later that evening.

 

Sunday Morning saw a low turnout on the start line! Sunday afternoon events include Coastal Service Demo in the harbour Rowing race between local Clubs, the launch of a new Maritime Book Glorious Galway Sunday evening there will be music in the street and the Closing fireworks take place at 11.00pm tonight.
