#Ballycastle - The child who died after he was round at the bottom of sea cliffs near Ballycastle in Co Antrim last night has been named as Logan Crawford.

BBC News reports that the seven-year-old boy was local to the area, and was believed to have been playing with friends near the cliff edge when he fell.

As previously reported on Afloat.ie, Belfast Coastguard and RNLI lifeboats from Portrush and Red Bay were involved in the search for the boy, who was airlifted to Coleraine Hospital by RAF helicopter but later pronounced dead.

Lambs Week Regatta on Galway Bay

With a theme of accessibility, Lambs Week was devised to celebrate the unique sailing grounds of the West of Ireland. 

It comprises five days of sailing around Galway Bay and the Aran Islands.

Big boats, small boats, fast boats and slow boats are all welcome.

The fleet, which totalled 46 for the first edition in 2021, takes in three beautiful harbours of Ros aMhil, Cil Ronain and Cloch naRon, each keen to offer a warm welcome to the competing sailors. 

Organisers Galway Bay Sailing Club match similarly rated boats to see who can get the best out of the conditions for a 'Sail in Company'.  A Pursuit Challenge around the islands for both competitive and non-competitive boats is also held.
