Cruising Group – Toolbox Talk – Lets Talk Engines With Ian!

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!

Quiz update

Every dog has his day. In the case of the Corner Boys, during Wednesday’s table quiz (29 January), they barked loudest and bagged the bone. following a tie-break with T.B.M. The Corner Boys’ tails could be seen wagging furiously, and at least one Corner Boy extended the metaphor by sniffing in inappropriate places. This was T.B.M.’s fourth 2nd-place finish, and their second tie-break defeat. A victory must await. Perennial contenders Wizard tied with Chancellors for third, with Teamtastic and Tango putting in good performances to finish close up in fifth and sixth respectively.

Wednesday night’s quiz was the last of the ordinary season, with discards being available from now on. Reigning champions Wizard continue to dominate the overall leaderboard, with T.B.M. and the Corner Boys improving their standing. Expect the competition to heat up in the coming weeks.

Our next quiz will take place on February 12 at 8pm sharp!  All members are welcome to attend and compete – each quiz night is a standalone event. Questions, and sometimes answers, guaranteed.
