HEIR ISLAND REGATTA

The Heir Island Regatta is an annual fixture on the West Cork sailing calendar and gives visitors a great chance to see sailing skills in use.

The regatta is based at Heir Island Sailing School with the racing taking place within the sheltered waters of Roaringwater Bay. Across all ages, competition on the water is keen, but regatta day is not just about sailing — it is traditionally a day when people come to the island from the surrounding area to watch the action on the water, enjoy a picnic on the beach and join in the BBQ and festive atmosphere on shore.

A number of different types of yacht take part including the local Heir Island Sloops and Heir Island Lobster Boats in addition to smaller sailing boats and dinghies. A kayak race takes place from the shore.

Please refer to the Events Calendar for the date of the next Heir Island Regatta.
