Currach Building Project New London CT.

Currach Project

Geoff Kaufman, Janet Buck-Marusov, Lorcan Otway and Diarmuid Hanafin

Lorcan Otway is the currach builder, Geoff, Janet and Diarmuid are the founders of Celtic Cause. Next week we are starting to build some currachs in New London, 2 for New Orleans, one ( ? ) for New York. The New York boat is to be named the Pat Cleary, after the founder of the 1957 club. Monty O'Leary, of Maharees, Co. Kerry, Ireland, is going to be arriving this Friday to be the primary master-builder. More on all this soon... The boats will be built at Crocker House, which is at 180 State Street, New London, CT. On 2\17\2006 Monty lands in the States and the work begins...
