As preparations for the clubâs annual lift-in got underway, Flying Fifteen fleet members participating in the Frostbite series temporarily relocated their boats to the Carlisle Pier, with kind permission from Tim Ryan of DLRCC. This move provided fleet members with the unique opportunity to admire, up close, the latest tall ship to visit Dun Laoghaire Harbourâthe magnificent STV SĂžrlandet.
Upon approach by our Commodore, Peter Sherry, Captain Ulf Hed of the SĂžrlandet warmly welcomed the fleet aboard, offering them a brief but fascinating tour of the ship.
