Call for Logs – Gollan Cup

Dear Members,
The nights are drawing in and the cruising season, for most of us, will be coming to a close. Many yachts have voyaged beyond Lough Swilly and will have stories worth telling. I would encourage you to commit your experiences to paper and share them with the club. All logs submitted will be considered for the Gollan Cup and will be published on the web-site. The Gollan Cup will be presented at the Annual dinner on 5th November, so all entries must be received by Fri 29 October.
I look forward to reading about your adventures by sea.

Regards
Dr Paul McSorley
Commodore

Portsalon Pint and Quart Results

In sunny Force 7 conditions, the Portsalon Pint and Quart Pursuit Race provided more than enough excitement on Sunday.

The smaller boats opted to head straight to Portsalon, and larger boats battled the swell to round Swillymore and then surf downwind back to the finish.

IRC fleet:
Faustina 1st
Vivace 2nd
Desperado 3rd

Club Fleet:
Cloudy Bay 1st
L’Escargot 2nd
J’Aimee 3rd

With thanks to Tullamore Dew for providing a range of great prizes on the day.
