This is one of the best regattas and great for spectators. They’re also our greatest rivals so please come down and support us if you are not rowing competitively. The regatta is held from the East Link bridge towards Poolbeg Yacht club. The best way to access the club by vehicle is to drive into Ringsend village and turn right where Sally’s pub is and follow the road to the end, where you will find St Patrick’s clubhouse. (map)

The regatta will also see the return of our ancient veteran’s crew who have finally got the all clear from their GP to row a race. Should be interesting….defibrillators at the ready please….
