Our community welcomes anyone to join whether you wish to race, watch or assist. If you've already got a boat and engine that fits the class in which we race then come and enjoy our hospitality and friendship. If you don't have a boat, then come along to one of of our regular run-outs (usually every weekend) and we'll give you a quick, free taste of what it's all about. If you then want to take it further we'll give you all the guidance and advice we can. Contact Us

There are two very simple ways to get involved. If you've got your own boat then you can fall in at any time - as many of our crews do. Alternatively there's 'Casper' and 'Garfield' - our two club boats (with more to come!). These are available to all members that have been signed off on them. Disability days are also organised to enable everyone to enjoy the water even if you are unable to race. Community programs are available helping youth to be part of team building exercises, understanding the effects and benefits of working and being part of a community structure. So come on and join the team!

Health and Safety Policy

ThunderCat Racing Ireland has a comprehensive Health and Safety Policy to make sure that our teams can race safely and securely, to minimise risk to themselves or those around them. We ensure, by regular risk assessments and through continuous monitoring, that the safety of our people and those around which we operate are paramount at all times.

Looking to buy a Thundercat?

There are three main Thundercat hull manufacturers (and they all use the same Tohatsu 50hp engine). These are Aquarius, Ceasar and Gemini - each with their own good and bad points. There are a few other manufacturers - some ok, some really not so good at all ....so we'd strongly recommend that you get good advice before parting with your readies. We don't actually sell them here at Thundercat Racing Ireland - we prefer to be able to give you impartial advice and then send you out there looking - but we do know some people that do. Your first port-of-call would be Clive Hawkins (087 232 4104) - he's the agent for Aquarius and he'll see you right, whether you're looking for new or second-hand. Failing that it's d'internet. A new rig (boat, engine, trailer, tank, etc.) should come in well under 10k and a decent second-hand rig could start from as little as 3,500. Again, we're here to help with free and impartial advice.
