  I'm a boatbuilding student in Seattle, and I'd like to build a currach during my time in the shop. Where can I find a set of drawings, or are there any? Perhaps some good books I should find? My email is pnwkevin@gmail.com. Thanks.

  You have a great site and wonderful program. As a new rower it is fascinating to learn the heritage of these great boats.

I got to row in Warrenpoint this August and hope to visit for a row in the mighty west. I love Calre and greatly enjoyed my ride to the Aran Islands out of Doolin and the great music at O'Connor's.

The Albany Irish Rowing Club sends their warm regards. let me know if you'd like a link to any of the blog posts we put up.

  Looking for Currach designs and plans to use for a project with at-risk high schoolers. The whole project will also be tied into the story of St. Brendan and his trip. Any info would be great.

  Hey, I'm a rower from brittany, and I'm building a 2 handed naomhog to row on the channel (Mor Breizh) with my beloved lady. Gunwalls and ribs are made, but i'm not sur to finish her before going in Kerry at April. I'm waiting for other curragh during "semaine du golfe" in may, near Vannes, south Brittany : rowing between islands in (very) strong current during this very pleasant festival !
See you soon ?

  Hi all rowers out there, it is worth thinking about this traditional boat festival as it is on every two years. It would be nice to establish a connection with Brittany like we have with many other areas. Making a new connection has always ended up in more people going the next time round. Do not delay too long in deciding it is a great trip and one more place to put on the map where the West Clare Currach Club has visited.

  Hi, Kilkee is twinned with a town in Brittany called Plouhinec and we have been invited to a traditional boating festival (18-24 May, see http://www.semainedugolfe.asso.fr/). We are planning a group trip with a west clare currach and a 3-man naomhog to partake in the festival. All are welcome (particularly rowers!). Flights to Nantes (out on the 21st and back the 26th) with Ryanair are reasonable at the minute... Anyone interested in travelling, feel free to contact me at 086 8202 181 or kevin.heapes(at)gmail.com and we can help arranging accomodation and so on.
As is usually the case, we need to firm up numbers as soon as possible! Kevin

  I put a short clip of Eddie McSweeney on Youtube for all to see. It was taken using a mobile phone so the quality is poor. It was 5am on a morning last May and it turned out to be his last time out in the canoe. Im glad to have been there.
