Currachs and Currach Building
- "The Canvas Currach" A new book/dvd set out from Cian De
Buitlear about currachs. The DVD contains about 40 minutes of footage of
the different stages of a three-hand currach similar to the aran style
being built. The book then is a series of photos providing a reference
for the DVD. Not a historical work, more of a builder's reference but
the builder does also talk about the different uses he makes of his
currach.Can be ordered at Easons More details to be seen in the Galway Hooker Association's website. ISBN: 0954902327

Carthaigh which was supposed to be out in June 2006. No sign of it yet.
