Waterways Ireland wishes to advise all masters and users of the Shannon Navigation that there will be navigation and mooring restrictions in Carrick-on-Shannon to facilitate the Rowing Club Regatta on Sunday 3rd August 2025.
The regatta will be held on the 500 metres stretch of water immediately south of the town bridge commencing at 0830hrs and finishing at approx. 1800hrs.
Craft wishing to make a through passage will be facilitated every 2 hrs approximately during the regatta.
Masters should note that ONLY vessels of an overall length of 22ft. / 6.8m or less will be permitted on the floating jetties from Thursday 31st July to Sunday 3rd August 2025 and there will be no public access to these moorings during the event.
This is necessary in the interest of marine safety and to facilitate the laying of the competition course.
Vessels berthed from Thursday 31st July at 1600hrs will be required to remain in place until racing finishes at approx. 1800hrs on Sunday 3rd August.
Masters are advised to proceed at slow speed and with due caution and to take note of advice from course marshals when passing through the area.
Waterways Ireland takes this opportunity to thank its customers for their co-operation with these arrangements.
