The latest build from the West Clare Currach Club was launched at the weekend when a replica four-hand Scattery pilot "canoe" took to the water at Kilrush on the Shannon Estuary.
The Club is an umbrella organisation for a growing number of rowing clubs based along the coastline of County Clare.
The replica historic craft was built by James Madigan with help from club members.
