I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of all the NYC members to wish our Olympic sailors, Annalise Murphy and Finn Lynch the very best of luck and success at the Rio Olympics and we will be following their progress with great interest.
Good luck also to our International Race Officer, Con Murphy who will be officiating as Olympic Race Officer.

Following on the incredibly tight race between the 3 MOD 70s entered in the Wicklow SC Round Ireland where Oman Sail broke its own Round Ireland Record (as well as the other 2 boats), Team Phaedo 3 is back!
Taking their start today based on a favourable weather window (see here) allowing them to go round anti-clockwise, Team Phaedo 3 hopes to break the current record of 38 hours, 37 minutes and 7 seconds!
Click here to follow their progress!
With just 2 days of racing to go, Ronan Wallace is currently lying 4th overall in the Laser Radial World Championships (out of 42 entries) with only 4 points separating him from 3rd place and 8 points from 2nd place on the podium!
Meanwhile, in the Girls Class, Nicole Hemeryck is also lying in 4th position (in a 76 entries class) ONLY 1 point behind third overall but seemingly too far behind second place…
Finally, NYC cadets Ronan Walsh and Daniel Raymond are respectively laying in very respectable the positions 56th and 61st in the incredibly hotly contested Boys class boasting no less than 229 entries!!!
Heartfelt congratulations to all to dates and wishing them the very best for today and tomorrow!

Dear Vice-Commodore,
Please forgive my delay in writing this letter but as my brother, who lived in the country, died in May
certain things had to be put on the back burner. He had been very ill for some time so in a way,
while very sad, it was a release from terrible pain.
We owe a huge debt of thanks to the Members of the National Yacht whom, together with some of
our personal sailing friends reached our target of €40k for our “Get Finn to Rio campaign” Finn was
able to send personal cards to all whose names Oonagh had received with their contributions.
The National Yacht Club.
