All,
See the new menu category above where there will occasionally be a boat or two for sale.
If you have a boat for sale then drop me a description and some pics (within reason) and I may be able to post the ad.
Were not going to challenge Apollo Duck (Other sites are available) but its a local thing!
I’ll put it up there for a month.
Hope you are successful.
Regards
Fergal

All,
Yesterday we had a fantastic show of boats for the Lifeboat regatta. 12 Boats in total came to the line for racing. Probably the best show of the year. Thanks to all who took time to show up and compete.
Even better than the great show of boats was the number of those who came back to the clubhouse and showed support for the RNLI. It was a really good showing. We had a number of Lifeboat crew in attendance along with John McCarter. A few buckets were present and readily filled.
I spoke to John today and he has informed me that we collected in excess of €830. That is an extraordinary sum of money. John has expressed his gratitude for the collection which is very much needed in these times of budget tightening.
Lets hope we can do the same or better in the forthcoming Annual Prizegiving.
Regards,
Leonard
All,
This weekend is the Lifeboat Regatta. Race start is 2pm at Fahan. I am hoping to fit 2 races into the afternoon. It’ll be a super Saturday style event with back to back races so prepare for a rapid turn and depart again. Your finish time of race 1 is your start time of race 2. Please prepare your stopwatch for this!!
Forecast is Southerly so should get away with a nice kit run down the Lough. 😊
After the race we will retire back to the clubhouse for some refreshments and hopefully we will have some representation of the lifeboat crew in attendance.
Please show your support for the invaluable service that the RNLI shows us without question.
Looking forward to seeing you all Saturday.
