This is gonna be mighty.
Crookhaven Harbour Sailing Club takes pleasure in inviting you to compete in the SB20 Ireland Southern Championship which will be held in Crookhaven, Co. Cork on 3rd & 4th July 2010
Away oh we go to far west Cork for Atlantic swell, good winds, great pints and brilliant craic.
Notice of Race is here.
Yes, there will be a crane, details and Google map in the NoR…bring mooring lines and good fenders. Don’t need the jib to pick up a mooring!
Yes, there will be perfect pints and superb seafood in O’Sullivan’s right on the water front.
Yes, there will be great racing, wonderfully wacky story telling and did I mention the perfect pints?
Ronan Collins has kindly supplied a Google maps link which shows:
A: Crookhaven.
B: Free camping.
C: Official camping.
D: Barley Cove Beach Hotel.
Driving: Make your way from wherever to the Dunkettle Roundabout at the bottom of the N8 Cork Road from Dublin, go through the Jack Lynch Tunnel, past Douglas, over the Kinsale Road Roundabout, following the N71 to Bandon, then to Clonakilty, then Rosscarbery, Leap and Skibbereen (handy town bypass).
Next is Ballydehob, turn left on to the R592 direction Schull, through the village and drive on to Altar, turn left on to the R591 direction Goleen, Leenane and Crookhaven. You’ll see the Crook fjord on your left, and then around the other side as you go on. Whew, you’ve made it!
Lots of small west Cork towns, purchase a pound of patience for driving through their narrowlanes. But then, most are seaside towns and are well used to boats moored on Main Street.
Be there!
