Seven NYC Members are putting in a stunning performance in their first ever ARC Atlantic crossing – having passed the half way mark and coming close to the home stretch.

The seven, including Post Commodore Paul Barrington and former Hon. Treasurer Barry O’Sullivan are less than 1000 Nautical Miles from the finish and all lying in a brilliant 6^th place, overall.

The full team (L to R) in photos below is Paul Fagan, Paul Barrington, Brian Uniack, Dave O’Reilly, Alan Daly, Barry O’Sullivan and Teddy Murphy – all NYC Members.

They are sailing the majestic Swan 80, Umiko, which is proudly flying the NYC Burgee, all the way across the ocean.

The ARC is a ‘must do’ for many sailors, and attracts over 200 boats and 1200 people every year to sail 2700 NM across the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to Saint Lucia.

The National Yacht Club would like to congratulate all its members who raced with distinction in the Dublin Bay Sailing Club various classes and series, from the Junior September Series to the Thursday and Saturday series across all classes.

The DBSC AGM takes place on Monday the 26th November  in the National Yacht Club at 8pm. You can view / download the DBSC Notice of AGM here
