Foynes Yacht Club sailors in festive costumes during the Frostbite Series final day race

Foynes Yacht Club sailors in festive costumes race in the final day of the SRL Frostbite Series, bringing Christmas spirit and strong competition to the estuary.

Foynes Yacht Club’s SRL Frostbite Series on the Shannon Estuary concluded on a high note this year. The final day of racing had a Christmas theme.

Sailors embraced the festive spirit. Many took to the water in colourful costumes, adding to the sense of fun and seasonal cheer.

The light-hearted finale provided a fitting end to another successful Frostbite Series. The event was marked by spirited competition and camaraderie both on and off the water.

“We had great participation and real enjoyment right through the series,” said club commodore Patricia McCormack. “The final day lifted everyone’s spirits.”

The club thanked competitors and volunteers. Plans for future events will be announced in the new year.

Shannon Foynes Port Information

Shannon Foynes Port (SFPC) are investing in an unprecedented expansion at its general cargo terminal, Foynes, adding over two-thirds the size of its existing area. In the latest phase of a €64 million investment programme, SFPC is investing over €20 million in enabling works alone to convert 83 acres on the east side of the existing port into a landbank for marine-related industry, port-centric logistics and associated infrastructure. The project, which will be developed on a phased basis over the next five years, will require the biggest infrastructure works programme ever undertaken at the port, with the entire 83 acre landbank having to be raised by 4.4 metres. The programme will also require the provision of new internal roads and multiple bridge access as well as roundabout access.
