Planned Events

The activities of the Club, including recreational and training events, are scheduled via the calendar. The Strangford Lough events are also listed, including other regattas to which we send a safety boat. The fuller details of these regattas are contained in a separate web site for the Strangford Lough Regatta Programme, and we commend regatta sailing to the Club.
The Club can only operate such an extensive calendar of events by the voluntary assistance of its members, enlisted by the rota associated within the printed Members Handbook. The Club is most grateful for the substantial assistance received from members and it is important that this work burden is shared. We are providing training and instruction to assist in preparing members for these duties. Anyone who is unfamiliar with any aspect of the calendar, sailing or duties is most welcome to contact an appropriate officer from the Committees.
