Thanks for making it a great Swilly Worlds

I just want to say thanks to everyone for making it a great weekend, with a really enjoyable series of regattas. The problem with saying thanks to individuals is that you always end up leaving someone out, so apologies in advance if I have forgotten to mention you.

Special thanks to Jim and Charlie and their crews for organising the Fahan and Buncrana regatta – let me tell you, it’s not easy and it requires a lot fo forethought and preparation, not to mention a cool head on the day.

Thanks to Kieran, our sailing secretary, who kept me right throughout.

I also want to thank Robert for his work behind the bar, particularly on Saturday night. Also, a special thanks to Pat and Maureen Hassett, who spent a few hours on Thursday last replanting the flower troughs and cleaning around the front of the Clubhouse. The place looked well.

Thanks to all those who competed, skippers and crews, and congratulations to all winners.
