On New Years Day 2019, the Currigee community came together to participate in the 53rd Currigee Cup; themed Vikings in honour of the courage and heroism we value on the island. Despite the low-tide the large beach area allowed a large number of craft and competitors to gather. Innovations this year included new Senior and Junior Paddle events and the much-welcomed ice-cream boat that came bearing refreshments. The Commodores would like to thank the participants and spectators for their community-minded spirit and enthusiasm on the day. Looking forward to the Currigee Cup 2020, with Commodores Scott Geldard, Nick Christie and Terry McGrath!
