Sail In Company – Greystones Marina

Sail In Company – Greystones Marina

Following the success of last year, we’re kicking off the new sailing season with a Cruise in Company to Greystones Marina on Sunday, 4th May, returning Monday, 5th May.

We'll muster at 13:30 in Scotsman’s Bay, aiming to arrive in Greystones Marina before 16:30 / 17:00. Once we’re docked, we’ll come together for a drink to celebrate the start of what we hope will be another great season on the water.

Berths will be assigned in advance, and details will be shared prior to departure.

To help with planning, please complete the below Jotform to let us know:

  • Whether you’ll be attending as crew or bringing your own boat
  • If you’re a skipper, whether you’re happy to take on additional crew for the passage and/or overnight stay

As it’s a bank holiday weekend and dining options can be limited for larger groups, we suggest that each skipper organises their own dinner plans for themselves and their crew.

Looking forward to a great start to the season – hope to see many of you there!

Regards

The Cruising Subcommittee

⚓ Join Us for an Exciting Trip to Peel Marina! ⚓

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)

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!
