It’s feared that damage to Dingle Harbour’s marina caused by a runaway boat last week may not be repaired until next summer.

And as The Kerryman reports, it could cause major disruption for regattas on Dingle’s 2023 calendar, not least the All-Ireland Coastal Rowing Championships next August.

Last weekend, Afloat.ie reported on the incident in which several smaller boats and part of the marina structure were damaged when a French trawler appeared to lose control while manoeuvring in the harbour.
