Cranagh marina is located on the Bann Estuary below Coleraine, a four miles sail of the mouth of the Bann, the gateway to the North Coast from inland Ireland. It has an 18–berth jetty that is in the process of being extended to accommodate a further 60 berths.

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.
