Madam, – Contrary to the statement of your correspondent (Summer Living, August 23rd), the sailing season for Galway hookers is not yet over. There will be three more regattas before the end of the season. Next weekend (August 28th, 29th) a regatta will be held in Greatman’s Bay (based at Caladh Thaidhg, An Cheathru Rua), the following weekend another will be held in Casla Bay (based in Ros an Mhíl) and in early September another regatta will be held at Cill Chiaráin. These events are free to view and all are welcome. – Yours, etc,
