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.
West Cork's Calves Week Regatta is traditionally held in the first week in August. In 2024, it runs from Tuesday, August 6 to Friday, August 9.
