If you can’t wait for the exhibition Captain Bligh: Myth, Man and Mutiny to open on 17 March, a new Channel 4 programme 'Mutiny' starts tonight, 6 March 2017.
The series follows a team of nine men led by SAS: Who Dares Wins frontman, Anthony Middleton, as they recreate Captain Bligh’s epic voyage of survival.
With a theme of accessibility, Lambs Week was devised to celebrate the unique sailing grounds of the West of Ireland.
It comprises five days of sailing around Galway Bay and the Aran Islands.
Big boats, small boats, fast boats and slow boats are all welcome.
The fleet, which totalled 46 for the first edition in 2021, takes in three beautiful harbours of Ros aMhil, Cil Ronain and Cloch naRon, each keen to offer a warm welcome to the competing sailors.
Organisers Galway Bay Sailing Club match similarly rated boats to see who can get the best out of the conditions for a 'Sail in Company'. A Pursuit Challenge around the islands for both competitive and non-competitive boats is also held.
