Time to look at your PFDs!
The Department of Transport has amended Marine Notice No. 32 of 2019 “Personal Flotation Devices for Pleasure Craft and Personal Watercraft”, in time for the new sailing season.
Now is the time to look at the requirements and regulations for the safe use of PFDs on our boats. It advises on buying a new PFD and on inspecting and servicing your existing one.
The marine notice is available on the Department of Transport’s website here.
Quiz News!
True champions know when to shine. When competition gets serious, the true champion can go up a gear and put their opponents under pressure by simply competing at a consistently high standard. Those opponents who cannot go toe-to-toe fade in the heat of battle. So it was with our reigning champions Wizard who opened up a commanding lead during the quiz on Wednesday, 12th February, and who never looked back. The Corner Boys stayed in their corner, T.B.M. turned back meekly, Enchantress fell under a spell, and The Dirty Ruckers couldn’t clean up their act. Wizard answered an impressive 48 of 51 questions correctly. The Quizmaster will have to take stock.
In the overall series Leaderboard, Wizard cemented their lead, but with discards coming into play there are a number of teams who will have aspirations to challenge. The Corner Boys and T.B.M. are joint second with some valuable discards available, and Chancellors, Teamtastic, Harmerang, Enchantress and The Dirty Ruckers can all dream of mounting a challenge.
Three evenings to go! The next quiz is on Wednesday, 26th March, at 8.00pm sharp!
All are welcome.

Cruising Group – Toolbox Talk – Lets Talk Engines With Ian!
Our Cruising Group is delighted to invite you to our next Toolbox Talk on Wednesday, 19th February, at 7:30 PM in the J.B. Room.
This session will feature Ian Meldon, who has generously offered to host a Q&A on marine engines—specifically, how to identify wear and potential issues before they lead to failure at sea.
Given the broad scope of this topic, we’d like to gather questions in advance to ensure a structured and insightful discussion.
If you have any questions you’d like to see addressed, please email us at admin@nyc.ie, and we’ll include them.
We look forward to seeing many of you there!
