In the interest of public health and safety, the Committee of Cruinniú na mBád have decided that sadly this years Regatta/ Festival will not go ahead as planned.

In light of the present circumstance regarding Covid-19, due to the uncertainty regarding where we might be at in mid-August, the Committee have determined it would be irresponsible to bring large crowds to the village risking resurgence or spread of the virus, despite sailing being considered low risk.

2020 was to be our 41st Cruinniú na mBád and we want to thank all those who have supported us since our first Cruinniú in 1979, especially the Boat owners, crews and sponsors for their loyalty to the Festival.

We look forward to Cruinniú 2021
