Schull all set for Calves Week spectacular

Steady as she goes is the message from Schull Harbour Sailing Club as the organisers of the West Cork season highlight make final preparations for next week’s annual Calves Week regatta.

Widely regarded as a hidden gem of Irish sailing, the regatta has settled well into it’s new format — introduced four years ago — and entries are up on 2015.

While the Olympic Games are just around the corner and one coach recently called Schull “the spiritual home” of Irish performance sailors, Calves Week is firmly aimed at club-level sailors and cruiser-racers.
