The Dublin Bay Old Gaffers Association aims to promotes interest in traditional gaff rig and seamanship, to offer help, advice and comradeship to members and to organise races and rallies for members in the Dublin Bay Area.
The Dublin Bay Old Gaffers normally organise a regatta, two rallies and four races during the summer season and a varied, interesting and well-supported series of talks during the winter (proceeds raised are donated to the RNLI).
Many Dublin Bay members also travel to regattas and rallies organised by other Irish Sea OGA areas.
While the Dublin Bay Old Gaffers activities are focused on Dublin Bay, they also have a cluster of members in the Cork area and have members from all over Ireland and some in Britain too.
The Association is working up lans to celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2023. In 2013 a fleet of boats set off around the UK and Ireland to celebrate OGA50.
