High Speed Thrills on Friday at Inaugural 'Liffey Skiffy'

26th August 2010
High Speed Thrills on Friday at Inaugural 'Liffey Skiffy'

Tomorrow join skiff sailors for some Dublin city centre sailing action as High Performance Olympic 49er Skiffs will be racing on the River Liffey between the East Link Bridge and Samuel Beckett Bridge.
Crews from Ireland and the UK including Olymians, Olympic campaigners and professional skiff sailors will be carving up some tight maneuvers in the confined walls of the River Liffey.

There'll be 4 or 5 short sharp races and all are welcome to view the spectacle from the North Wall Quay and Sir John Rogerson's Quay. Expect to get very close to the events as they unfold. There will be no lay lines... Just walls!!! Event proceeds will go to the Peter Mc Verry Trust.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
