White Harte Regatta next Saturday

Just a reminder that the White Harte Regatta is due to the place next Saturday, 21st May. High tide in the morning is at 7.00am, so most boats will need to leave the marina by 09.00am. I would ask boats to make their way to Rathmullan, where we will start the regatta around 10.00 – 10.30am. Detail will be provided later.

As you know, the McAteer family and the White Harte are extremely generous in their sponsorship of this event and have provided us with excellent hospitality over the years. I would like to give them some prior notice about numbers who will be coming to the regatta, so it would be very helpful if you could let me know if you’re coming. My email is: loughswillysailing@gmail.com.

Looking forward to seeing as many people as possible at this wonderful event.

Try Sailing Open Day

The Try Sailing Open Day was a great success yesterday, with well over 20 new people taking part. If you would like to see photographs, there’s an excellent selection on the Facebook page, with a lot of very happy faces. We were blessed with the weather too.

Can I give my thanks to all those club members, skippers and crews, who gave their time to make this such a success.

I think we may have quite a lot people keen to get crewing opportunities, please put a post on the Facebook Page.
