Afloat.ie: 2000 Hanse 292

Well known Yacht-dealer and sailmaker Philip Watson has put his demonstration boat up for sale. It is a fast Hanse sailing cruiser, 29' 6" in length. "CHanser" is fastidiously maintained and has a host of cruising luxuries like central heating, shore-power, hot and cold running water, fridge, autopilot, a beautiful set of sails (as you'd expect on a sailmaker's own boat!) including a laminated fully-battened main dropping into a "stack-pack" lazy-jack cover. The boat is powered by a Volvo 20 HP saildrive diesel. For more details and images visit the full listing here.

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.
