Schull Harbour Sailing Club has received some late entries for its August Calves Week Regatta to bring the fleet up to 65 competing boats. 

Beginning on August 6th, the annual West Cork regatta has attracted an eclectic mix of cruisers, including Opal, the canting keel Elliot 57-footer from Greystones Harbour and the reigning ISORA champion, the JPK 10.80 Rockabill VI from Dun Laoghaire.

According to the organisers, Cork Harbour's Conor Phelan's Quarter Tonner Anchor Challenge from Royal Cork and George Radley's vintage 40-footer IMP from Cove Sailing Club are joining the fleet now.

As Afloat reported earlier, this is the 40th anniversary of Calves Week, which is also the 140th Anniversary of Schull Regatta.

Calves Week Regatta takes place in Schull in early August, continuing the annual tradition in West Cork since the inception of the Schull Harbour Sailing Club in 1884.

In more recent years, a more compact schedule as an alternative to the older two-week even has proved popular.

The four-day Calves Week Championships with the usual mix of courses taking in the Fastnet Rock and many of Carbery's Hundred Isles, together with laid courses in Roaringwater Bay is one of Irish sailing's enduring fixtures. 

A daily prize-giving takes place on Main Street in Schull, which sees a nautical festival theme for the village organised by local businesses.
