Curragh
#1
Quite a nice Curragh image taken by a client last year on the Fens (UK) this is Pegasus, our other curragh Triton was in pursuit during of of our training exercises!
No other conventional craft negotiate these shallows quite so well - there's little displacement from these vessels, quite handy in shallow, boggy water!

Are there any diagrams or plans that you would be willing to share? I have seen these before and I am very interested in making something like it myself if possible.

Herodotus mentions such craft 'round like a shield' so they can traverse a variety of periods.

I have spoken to Dan today and he says if you contact him via Britannia's website he'll send you all the data he has

Its an ok looking curragh. There are still people living in galway that could teach them a thing or two. :wink:
"The Kaiser knows the Munsters,
by the Shamrock on their caps,
And the famous Bengal Tiger, ever ready for a scrap,
And all his big battalions, Prussian Guards and grenadiers,
Fear to face the flashing bayonets of the Munster Fusiliers."
