Changes to dining reservations

As we are finally returning to normal levels of activity in the Clubhouse and a new season of sailing is about to begin, we are reverting back to pre Covid procedures for dining reservations.
As in early 2020 and before, reservation of tables will be available for the dining room, and the bar will remain operating on a first come basis. This is to ensure that as many members as possible are catered for especially at peak times.
We look forward to the new season ahead starting with lift-in tomorrow and look forward to seeing you in the club in the near future.

Bar Quiz 2021 / 2022 – Final Round and Overall Results!

Last Wednesday (March 30th) saw the final round of this season’s much anticipated (after Covid gathering restrictions) and beloved Table Quiz!

The Grand Finale started after a Sailing Supper and “Retiring Master of Ceremony Extraordinaire” Ian Meldon displayed all his wit once again to make the evening a most pleasurable experience for all in the audience, before handing over the baton to Michael Hennigan who will have a very hard act to follow next winter…We all wish Michael many enjoyable years ahead trying to, as Ian would say, “shape up all of you Hooligans in this room”!

Dignified but emotional, Ian concluded the evening saying: “I would like to thank all the people who took part over the years, those behind the scenes compiling questions, assisting on the night particularly Sarah Fallon, Mick Hanney, Mark Compton, Larry Power (who held the Zoom fort during lock downs) and  Lorcan Balfe”

NYC Optimist Development Programme – Pre-summer 2022

The Optimist Development programme is aimed at sailors who aim to compete in events and other competitions in 2022.  We believe there is demand for a performance group and a development group.  The performance group will consist of already experienced sailors who have competition experience, but did not meet the IODAI rankings in 2021 and qualify for the DOGS Winter training, and also the sailors moving from regatta fleet to main fleet in 2022 competitions.

While there is a focus on development and performance, our plan is based on the NYC’s core values of family, friendship and sporting excellence.  All sailors and parents MUST READ AND ADHERE TO the Club’s code of conduct to encourage good behaviour and camaraderie: Code-of-Behaviour

Dates: 1st May, 8th May, 15th May, 22th May, 5th June, 12th June
Time:13:00-16:30
Price : €150
Charter Boats available at an additional €100

Read carefully the requirements for the various groups before enrolling your child using the form here

NYC stars Annalise Murphy and Finn Lynch Honoured at Irish Sailing Awards

Annalise Murphy, Olympic silver medallist, was honoured at the Irish Sailing Awards today with the presentation of the President’s Award to mark the end of her stellar Olympic sailing career.

Presenting the prize, Patrick Coveney, Greencore CEO and outgoing chair of the Irish Sailing Olympic Steering Group commented: “Annalise is perhaps the greatest Irish sailor of all time and has changed the way sailing is seen in this country”.

Meanwhile, Olympian Finn Lynch won the prestigious Sailor of the Year for his silver medal at the ILCA 7 Laser World Championships in Barcelona in November 2021. His result was the best achieved by an Irish sailor in any Olympic discipline and came hot on the heels of his 7th place at the ILCA 7 Laser European Championships in October.

James O’Callaghan, Irish Sailing Performance Director commented: “Finn’s progression since his Olympic qualifying disappointment has been phenomenal. He’s responded like a true champion winning a World Championship silver medal. The recognition from the Irish sailing community and his status as Irish Sailing Sailor of the year is truly deserved”.
