Our usual procedure is to prepare the boats on the Thursday before the race and to drive them up on Friday afternoon. Leaving the boats at Lisloughrey Pier near Cong, Co. Mayo, overnight ready for the race on Saturday morning. Returning with the trailers to the Corrib Rowing & Yachting Club at the university leaving them there for use after the race.
