Dear members,

 
The first general meeting of the revived cruising group will take place at the National Yacht Club at 18.30 in the National Yacht Club on Thursday 1st of February.

Everybody is welcome.

The proposed agenda is as follows: 

Training courses
16th of March 2024: Boat show, involving presentation on safety at sea by Viking marine, solace marine and INLI,
5th /6th of May 2024: sail in company to Greystones.
September 2024: potential sail in company to the Isle of Man.
Any other business
 This will be immediately followed by a sailing supper at 20.00. Hopefully, it will be an excellent occasion to socialize.

There will be 3 speakers, who will briefly present a passage to the Azores (frank Cassidy), attack by orca (Andrew Collins) and rescue at sea by the RNLI (Damien Payne).

We would really appreciate your support for both events, as this is the first occasion when there will be a formal meeting by the Group, and we are keen to build consensus as to potential activities.

Please book using the attached link

We are humbled and delighted to have been awarded the MG Motor "Sailing Club of the Year 2024" Award, in conjunction with the Irish Ruffian Class Association.

The award is a recognition of the fantastic work put together into developing Sailing at all levels (Juniors, Teenagers, Adults, Women on the Water - both in terms of training and racing at all levels) by the Club's Committee,  Staff and Volunteers not only over the last year but also since the end of the Covid pandemic!

2024 will once again be an extremely busy year on all aspects of sailing in the Club and, in addition to Training, Club racing, Team Racing and Match Racing, we are also rebooting the Club's Cruising section with a great programme of outings!
