The Rosscarbery Timber Yawl Regatta brought crews of all ages to the water on Sunday 14 June, with racing from 5pm.
Timber yawls are the traditional wooden boats that coastal rowing in West Cork grew up with, and the South West clubs keep that heritage alive with a series of timber yawl regattas every summer. Our own regatta is one of the highlights of the club's year.
Race order
The evening's programme ran right through the club:
- Under 12 Beginners
- Under 12 Boys and Under 12 Girls
- Under 14 Boys and Under 14 Girls
- Under 16 Boys and Under 16 Girls
- Under 18 Boys and Under 18 Girls

It was especially good to see an Under 12 Beginners race on the programme, giving our newest rowers their first taste of racing.
