Arrangements for the "Swilly Worlds" regatta series are well under way, and more details will be posted during the week.

The event kicks off with registration and skipper’s briefing in the Clubhouse at 10.00 am on Saturday morning.

HW Saturday is 10.12 (3.7m) and the first race starts out in the Lough at 12.00.

Further details on the format of racing will be given at the skipper’s briefing.

Entry fee is €30 and IRC certificates are requiredto participate in the IRC class.

It looks like a pleasant weekend, and hopefully the wind will stick around for some competitive racing.

The RNLI carried out some simple checks on a number of lifejackets at clubs in Cork and Dublin last week with some shocking findings! Make sure your equipment is up to scratch before heading out on the water.

The Calendar for dinghy sailing events has been published on the LSYC web-site, with the open Dinghy Regatta planned for Saturday 24th July.

Take a look on www.loughswillyyc.com and come along and take part.

The Annual Melmore Rally is this weekend, and this year we hope to leave the marina!

HW is at 05:37 so an early start is planned for 09:30.
Full race instructions will be provided on the day on VHF Ch 6.

The traditional Commodore’s inspection will be in Fanny’s Bay on Saturday evening, and the return to the Marina will be an informal cruise, with some boats electing to sail further over a long weekend. As ever we will all look forward to seeing the photographs 🙂

Have fun everyone!
