Congratulations to Mike, Robert, Thomas, Sinon and Ashley, who were first boat over the line in the Great River Race in London on Saturday 12 Sept. Nearly 300 crews and 2,000 rowers took part in this fantastic 22 mile race through London. We had 25 crew in 5 boats with ages ranging from 10 to 60. Well done to all who made this such a successful 3rd and most successful trip to London.

This is the website for the West Clare Currach Club. We are an umbrella group for 7 local clubs and regatta committees on the Clare Coast.
With the help of Leader RRD funded training programme we built 6 local fishing currachs of the West Clare design over a two year period involving upto 35 men on the Loophead peninsula.
The boats are now made available to local regatta goups in Carrigaholt, Kilkee, Kilrush, Kilbaha, Doonbeg Quilty and Coonagh.
These club boats have helped revive a long tradition of currach rowing in the area and have helped people link up together around the Clare coastline.
We work cooperatively to promote our own local fishing canoes in the area and we also travel to other regattas and races such as the Great River Race in London and the Ocean to City Race in Cork.
We are interested in linking with other boat building projects where people are keeping their local boats on the water and all that that involves.
If you are interested in getting a currach built along the Clare design you can contact James Madigan on 00 353 087 6523728.
