Dragon Race

 

Lar Casey Cup

The Dragon fleet was introduced to Glandore in 1977 by two local brothers, Kieran and Dermot O’Donoghue. For a few years they provided the local viewers and visitors with spectacular sights of two graceful Dragons racing. The Dragons, Pan II (a 1957 Bjarne Aas owned by Kieran) and Fafner (a 1936 Johanssen owned by Dermot) raced each weekend during the summer season. Encouraged by the sight of these elegant craft and entertained by the tactics or antics of the O’Donoghue brothers, and to support the growing fleet numbers, Lar Casey proprietor of one of the local hostelries sponsored a perpetual cup for the Dragon class race in the village’s annual regatta.

Glandore Inn Rose Bowl

History of the Rose Bowl

The Rose Bowl was first commissioned in 1986 by Kieran O’Donoghue (the owner of the Glandore Inn at that time). It is awarded to the overall winner of a six race series held on consecutive days over a weekend usually in late August or early September. Races normally take place outside the harbour.

The Rose Bowl is one of the premier trophies of the sailing calendar and in recent years it has attracted visiting boats from Kinsale and Dublin
