Dear all,

This summer we are anticipating that there may be more demand than space available for parking of members boats at the Club.
This is an interesting challenge for us all and on the positive side is an indication of the great health and enthusiasm of the Club membership. All of us need to work together to help manage this issue in a manner that respects the many diverse activity groups within the Club.

All members wishing to park a boat (or more than one) on the Club platform for the summer should immediately carefully read the Platform Parking Request guidelines and procedure that are being implemented to manage the Club facilities this season.

THE PLATFORM WILL REOPEN FOR PARKING FROM SATURDAY 22nd APRIL - Please do not bring any boat back on the platform prior to this date

The successful revival of the Dublin Bay Twentyone fleet, under Fionán De Barra and Hal Sisk, continues apace with plans to set up a new organisation “Sailors of Dublin Bay Twentyones” (the Sailors) underway and for which membership is now open.

The new organisation’s primary purpose is to attract and manage racing crew rosters for the fleet and cover the annual running costs for the fleet’s racing plans for the 2023 season and beyond.

The fleet is owned by the Dublin Bay 21-Footer Class Association and all restoration costs are, and will continue to be met by the association. However, the annual running costs are not sustainable for the Association in the long term, and this is where the “Sailors of Dublin Bay Twentyones” come into play. The membership fee to join will cost €500 per person for the full season which will cover racing entrance fees, insurance, running and maintenance costs.
