All,
Just a reminder for this who have yet to express an interest in attending the virtual AGM this year. If you do not express interest then you will not be able to attend.

A few days before the actual event I will send a link to the meeting. The link will be available from 10 minutes before the start of the meeting.

All,
Due to changes in Covid restrictions in both Derry and Donegal we have had to curtail our sailing programme for the next few weeks at least. We have been advised by the ISA that we cannot organise any racing. We can continue to train while observing social distancing and stay within a social bubble. Crews should preferably be from the same household.
Until the HSE and HSC change the guidelines we should not gather in any social groups either indoor or outdoor.

If we train then ALL participants must observe social distancing, use a face covering and use of hand sanitiser is a must.

It is the responsibility of all skippers to keep a contact tracing log for every day they have crew out on the water.

Where possible the use of a contact tracing app is advisable.

We are all responsible for each others health and safety.

Stay safe.

NOTE:
No further racing until further notice.

Training can continue within a social bubble, use contact tracing, use of a face covering and sanitiser.

All,

This is a gentle reminder that the Autumn series starts this weekend with the first race @ 13:30. We look forward to seeing you all at the start line for race 1 of 8. The upcoming events are as below (12 races…):

All,
The Portsalon Pint and Quart is due to start tomorrow (23rd) at 10am.
As this is a pursuit race the first boat will start at 10am.
If you intend sailing please let Fergal or Kieran know.

Fergal

All,

We are scheduled to run the Melmore Rally (Official) tomorrow Sat 8th at 9am.

Forecast is light and this should present another challenge…

Finish line is a transit between Bar rocks and Sessiagh Rocks. Please submit your time to the OD at the race end.
