Boat owners are invited boats assemble at 10.45 a.m. by no 18 buoy on Saturday 16th June adjacent to Carlingford Marina and to proceed in formation to the Victoria Sea Lock for locking in at 12.00 noon followed by a leisurely 3 mile cruise(speed limit 4 M.P.H.) through stunning South Armagh scenery before berthing at the Albert Basin in the commercial centre of the port, adjacent to “The Quays” retail centre


It is planned to have a social evening on Saturday night in addition to various activities in or near the Albert Basin. The following day the boats will depart the basin at 11.00 a.m. for a 12.00 lock in the Victoria Lock which should enable them to exit the ship canal just before high water.


It is hoped to attract all types of craft for this event and owners of smaller craft will have an opportunity to launch their vessels at a slipway on the Omeath Road. Various organisations including Ocean Youth Trust Ireland, The Old Gaffers’ Society and various sailing clubs have been invited to participate.

Registration for the event closes on May 31st
