Congratulations to Dublin Bay Sailing Club who are Mitsubishi Motors ‘Sailing Club of the Year’ 2021

Congratulations are in order as DBSC has been awarded the Mitsubishi Motors "Irish Sailing Club of the Year" 2021 on the strength of achieving a remarkably full programme in 2020 when Pandemic Regulations permitted is well merited.

The National Yacht Club is thrilled with announcement as Commodore Martin McCarthy explained: “DBSC did a fantastic job in difficult circumstances in 2020 to get our members out sailing for most of the summer. The NYC is delighted that our member Ann Kirwan has taken on the role of Commodore of DBSC this year, with Club stalwart Chris Moore being Hon Sec, and other NYC members also heavily involved on other fronts.

Congratulation also to 2020 Commodore Jonathan Nicholson on his fine stewardship of the club”

DBSC was founded in 1884 and has been organizing and supporting racing in the Bay since that time
