74 boats from around Ireland and the UK have arrived for this year's GAS Calves Week 2016 in Schull Harhbour, West Cork writes Oonagh Buckley. They were welcomed on a wet night by the organising committee to a reception provided by local producers such as West Cork Pies and Gubbeen Smokehouse, washed down with Cork Dry Gin.
The weather promises to improve for the opening day's sailing around the islands of Roaringwater Bay. Neil Prendiville has returned as Race Officer for the week which promises all types of conditions for the six competing fleets.
