Our Cruising Group invite captains expression of interest in a two night visit to Peel, Isle of Man.

Looking for an unforgettable boating adventure? Come along for a two-night visit to Peel Marina, Isle of Man, filled with stunning coastal views, great company, and a relaxing atmosphere!

We plan to muster outside the lock gates at 12 noon on Saturday the 24th of May.

We will then stay two nights and leave on Monday morning the 26th of May, as soon as the lock gates open, which will be around 12 midday. 

It is the responsibility of every skipper to decide what time they should leave Dun Laoghaire and the specific route that they will take.

However, as a number of categories of boats are similar, many may wish to sail in lose company.

At this time, we are only looking for an expression of interest from captains/boat owners, so we can start the initial planning.  

It is proposed to have a meeting of those considering or intending to take part, well before the trip to discuss options.

🗓 Dates:

  • Muster: Saturday, 24th May at 12 noon (outside Peel lock gates)
  • Stay: Two nights in Peel Marina
  • Departure: Monday, 26th May at 12 midday (when lock gates open)

Quiz News!

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.
