Join us for the sixteenth episode of Lessons Learned, UK Sailmakers’ podcast series hosted by Buttons Padin, featuring special guest David Dickson. In this episode, David discusses the history of the Shannon One Design—a unique wooden boat crafted for the Shannon River and still raced today near Athlone, in the heart of Ireland.
David, alongside Barry Hayes from UK Sailmakers Ireland, has been part of a project to design a modern sail for this historic class, bringing renewed energy to a boat design over a century old.
You can read more about the new Shannon One Design sails being made at UK Sailmakers Ireland here. The sails are available for purchase through their loft, located in Cork.
