Success Story in Youghal as Thundercats reel in the crowds

“APPROXIMATELY 1.8 Million euro has gone directly into the local economy in Youghal over the European Thundercats Beach Challenge weekend”, Mike Farrell President of the Youghal Chamber of Commerce and Tourism.

Youghal’s Thundercat weekend has been a huge success in terms of creating the interest to attend Irelands very first official power boat competition and putting the East Cork town firmly on the map as a Maritime Destination for all crafts. Over 60,000 people attended the Thundercats Festival Weekend that encompassed Thundercat Racing, a P1 Official UIM World Speed Record and Demonstration and a weekend of top class free entertainment on the streets all through the weekend which generated a significant amount of money for the area.

Youghal (County Cork, Ireland) is set to be the most exciting location in the country this coming June when the Thundercat European Beach Challenge takes place from the 20th to the 22nd. On water, on land and in the air, the thousands that attend are promised world-class entertainment for the entire family. For the first time ever in Ireland top international Thundercat teams will race right on the shoreline, giving spectators a powerboating experience they can almost reach out and touch. Unusually, for an Irish outdoor event, weather conditions are not an issue - if the weather is great then everyone will enjoy a balmy, yet exciting weekend at the beach in Youghal, but if the weather is in any way inclement then the Thundercat spectacle gets even more exciting. In short, whatever the weather - Youghal is going to be the place to be.
