Coracle racing - The tradition of coracle racing returned to the Tywi at the weekend - as part of a nationwide effort to revive interest in the Craft. Neck and neck. . . the racers splash out in their dash for the finish. 31st July 1994. In this print by Rob Stratton, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of a coracle race on the Tywi River during the 1990s. The image captures an exhilarating moment as two competitors fiercely paddle their way towards victory, oars slicing through the water with precision and determination. The revival of this ancient sport is evident in every detail: from these lightweight round boats known as coracles, skillfully crafted using traditional methods, to participants showcasing their passion for preserving heritage. As they navigate through challenging currents and bends, spectators cheer them on from riverbanks adorned with colorful flags. This snapshot not only highlights a thrilling sporting event but also serves as a reminder of our connection to nature's elements. The tranquil flow of water against sturdy wooden vessels evokes a sense of tranquility amidst intense competition. Rob Stratton's expert composition transports us back in time, capturing both action and emotion within one frame. It encapsulates an era where communities came together to celebrate local traditions while fostering national unity through shared interests. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with history and our unwavering commitment to keep age-old customs alive.
