N.Y.C. Sailing Awards Presentation – Gallery

The National Yacht Club celebrated another year of great sailing by its members at our annual awards dinner last Saturday night.

The club, that celebrates its 150th birthday this year, has fourteen annual awards for outstanding sailing achievements by members awarded from nominations received from members of the Committee and Sailing Sub Committee. The awards reflected a great horizon of sailing activity and administration in 2019.

Commodore Martin McCarthy awarded the “Commodore’s Award” to Chris and Sandra Moore. The husband and wife team were rewarded for their dedicated and ongoing voluntary service in support of sailing both for the Club and for Dublin Bay Sailing club.
