Calves Week 2023 May Have 70 Boat 'Cut-off Point' for August Regatta at Schull Harbour

 2023 Calves Week at Schull Schull Harbour Sailing Club may limit entries to 70 boats for the West Cork regatta this August.

The four-day series of races commences on Tuesday, 8th August, and at least six classes are expected to compete, with a possible extra Class Zero and Class One split if required.

Commodore Mark Murphy told Afloat that following last year's jump in entries to near pre-Covid numbers, the club is considering a "cut-off point" of seventy boats "to ensure a safe environment in a harbour without marina facilities". 

The famous opening reception will return to the Fastnet Marine Centre, and the evening presentation of prizes returns to Schull Main Street with live musical entertainment.
