Cork Outdoors Week | Curragh Rowing Taster

We are delighted to partner with Naomhoga Chorcai who will offer a curragh rowing taster as part of the Cork Outdoors Campaign. 

This taster will start at 10am on Saturday the 15th of August from Shandon Boat Club. You will be able to simply try a quick row for 20 minutes or continue for longer. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to give it a  go. 

This event is weather dependent and may be cancelled occasionally. There is some manual lifting of boats & equipment involved, please speak to a Duty Captain on arrival if you have any concerns about your ability to assist with lifting for any reason.

*Families are welcome but children must be accompanied on the boat by an adult. There must be one adult per child at all times* 

Newcomers and beginners are allocated a ‘captain’ and an experienced crew who will look after them for the duration of the trip.

Wear comfortable clothing (outdoors or sporty), consider gloves (fingerless cycling or weights gloves are good), a rain jacket, a bottle of water, and some change for that all-important coffee-break!

It is a perfect opportunity try out a currach, to get out on the the river Lee, to see Cork from the water, to and meet a random selection of people, united by their love of rowing and fun!
