Hosted by Carrickfergus Sailing Club

For the second time ever Carrickfergus Sailing Club is hosting the Irish Boat Jumble. Having hosted the Jumble in 2014 we are determined to make it bigger and better in 2015. We will be investing heavily in the advertising of the event and are hopeful that many of the regular Traders will be attending in 2015. Any income raised will go towards the building fund for the replacement clubhouse following the devastating fire in June 2012.

Gates open at 10am

Entry Fee £4/€5 – under 16s free when accompanied by an adult.

Euros will be accepted for entry and purchases in the club

All other regional variations of Sterling also accepted.

If you do it in, on, under or near the water, this is the place to get a bargain!

We look forward to meeting up with all our old friends on 12 April.

Handicaps to apply from the beginning of the season have now been posted on the web-site.

Yachts sailing in IRC Class should get their new 2015 certificate to the Sailing Secretary as soon as possible, to avoid a rating penalty!

On Friday April 10th, Lough Swilly Lifeboat Station will take delivery of the new Shannon Class Lifeboat, which will be arriving in the Lough around 11.00 am with a view to docking in the Lifeboat berth at Buncrana Pier at 12 noon.

As many of you know, our own Peter Eyre, an RNLI Naval Architect with family connections to LSYC, was instrumental in the development of the new lifeboat, designing the hull form at the age of 24!

The plans include an invitation for yachts and all seagoing craft to greet the new lifeboat north of Buncrana around White Strand Buoy / Stragill Beach as it makes its way from Dunree, and escort the new boat to Buncrana Pier, where we are invited to join in the on-shore celebrations.

A good turn-out from LSYC would make a fine spectacle for this fine new boat which will save lives around our coast for at least the next 25 years.
