Gráine Mhaol Dragon Boat Club
Gráine Mhaol, Mayo Dragon Boat Club established in 2015
The Club is named after the infamous pirate queen Gráinne Mhaol who hailed from Mayo. The unique spelling of Gráine is in memory of a friend called Áine, who passed away from Breast Cancer.
Our Gráine Mhaol Club paddles on the beautiful Lough Lannagh Lake in Castlebar. Originally a breast cancer survivors club, the club now welcomes friends and family of cancer survivors, beginners or experienced paddlers, any person over the age of 18yrs.
