Regatta 2016

A very memorable Port Navas Regatta was held along Quay Road, in the Yacht Club car park and on the Quay. Thanks to all those Quay Road residents gave up their parking space and gardens to the Coconut Shy, the Bottle Maze, Whack the Rat, Putt for Dough and the Hoopla. The Food Tent was huge success and the Silver Band played on the Quay House terrace. The rowing and swimming events were hotly contested as usual.
