Divided into two legs, the first leg concludes at Kilbeg, providing competitors with a chance to refuel and refresh. The second leg introduces a narrower channel in the lower lake, leading participants towards the river, where the finish line awaits at Corrib Village. The final stretch includes the captivating sight of boats manoeuvring to fit their masts under the Quincentennial Bridge before reaching the Corrib Rowing and Yachting Club for the historic trophy presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/afloat.ie\/sail\/events\/cong-galway-sailing-race\/item\/60187-europe-s-oldest-sailing-race-the-cong-galway-sailing-race-set-to-take-place-in-setpember\">https:\/\/afloat.ie\/sail\/events\/cong-galway-sailing-race<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The\u00a0Cong-Galway Sailing Race, claimed to be &#8216;Europe&#8217;s oldest and longest sailing race&#8217;, is set to take place on September 2nd, 2023.
