Galway Hookers

There is wonderful annual regatta in Kinvara not far from where I live that features races with these wonderful craft. Well worth a visit if you happen to be in the area.
 
The St Patrick was very travelled (including to Greenland and North America), and she was one of the hookers who sailed to Brest for the 1992 Festival - it was an amazing event (I was there)

Click on the link below for her history - sadly she was lost in a storm off Cork in 2002. :(
