The Galway Hooker was an 18th century development; a boat constructed with
the specific needs of the fishermen of the West in mind which quickly
became
their very own. The Galway Hooker is a unique variation, developed for the
often unwieldy seas off the West Coast. It is most easily identified by
the
sail formation, which is extremely distinctive and quite beautiful. It
consisted of a single mast with a main sail and two foresails. A
derivation
of the Hooker was the Pucan, which had one main sail and one foresail, and
is also unique to Galway. Recently there has been a major revival, and
renewed interest in the Hooker, and the boats are still being
painstakingly
constructed. The best place to see them? - Cruinniu na Mbad at Kinvara
annually - the sight of twenty odd hookers on the bay will take your
breath
away!
