 DINGLE REGATTA 2010
Venue: DINGLE TOWNDate: 14/08/2010 Dingle Regatta 2010 Skies will be blue and the sea calm this weekend for the Annual Dingle Regatta (14th & 15th August) Writes Ciarán Williams. This is an annual celebration of the skill and expertise of the boatmen from Chorca Dhuibhne operating the 4 hand Namhóga in Dingle Harbour. Watching them navigate their way around the harbour in their highly competitive races is very exciting and the atmosphere is always fantastic when boats clash and water splashes! Competitors from West Kerry are joined by crews from Maherees and as far away as Donegal to the Annual event. The Regatta is held over two days starting on Saturday with the hardy youngsters of Cumann Rámhaíochta Corca Dhuibhne taking to the water with 7 races on the card ranging from U-12 to U-18. The skill of these rowers is always exceptional and a tribute to their trainers Maunza Heidtke and Eddie Hutchinson. On Sunday the more experienced rowing takes place with the main race being the 4 man namhóg championship of Kerry. Also on the card that day is the Aloysious Ó Cíobháin Memorial Cup and the 4 woman championship of Kerry. To finish the regatta off there will be a rás meascaithe as hata with all the experienced rowers mixed up together. All the races are sponsored by local business outlets. Conor Haughey will attend the regatta to start the main race of the day on Sunday carrying on in the tradition established by his late father, former Taoiseach Charlie Haughey who came to Dingle every summer to open the weekend’s racing. The Charlie Haughey memorial cup will be presented to the winners of the women’s 4 hand namhóg race. Racing gets underway at 2pm each day and there are many vantage points from the marina breakwater. An annual celebration of the skill and expertise of local boatmen operating Náomhóga. Watch them as they carefully and fearlessly navigate their way round the harbour in a series of highly competitive races. Afterwards relax in one of the cosy pubs and embrace the exciting atmosphere.
