As the Club prepares for the 2018 Davy Regatta this Saturday it is also has important plans to help improve the waters we sail in every week.

This year we are asking as many members and their kids to come down this Sunday 24th June and join us for a bit of fun on the water. The plan is, weather permitting, to get as many club kayaks, SUP and ribs on the water to collect the floating debris that clogs up our harbour. The harbour company are providing a trash boat for us to fill.

Flossie, An 11 year old girl, from Dun Laoghaire has been asked to organise a march against plastic on behalf of Ireland that is happening on the same day around the world, so London, Washington Rio De Janeiro etc.

The march will be happening at 2.30pm on Saturday 9th June, leaving from The Royal Marine Hotel, then marching towards the West pier where one of her Seabins are going in.

 Flossie has been cleaning the beaches weekly in this area since last July and has become quite famous for it. The Irish Times wrote about her last year as well as many other magazines and newspapers worldwide. 
They are hoping to get around 1000 people to the march  and to have lots of yachts (flotilla)sporting anti-plastic signs in the Harbour, that would be brilliant! 

The National Yacht Club has long been the Dublin's guest home of Irish Sailing Performance Squads (49ers, Lasers) to provide access to the water in the capital...

The news is revealed in this morning's Irish Times Sailing Column here and it follows Annalise's two year hiatus from the class since Rio that had left everyone wondering, including team management, what the former European Radial Champion, would do next.
