The Grange Wine Merchants Autumn Series starts on Sunday 17th September and runs until Sunday 29th October.

Weather permitting, the first three Sundays will have two back-to-back Windward/Leeward races with a Round the Lough style course on 8th October, followed on 15th and 22nd with more Windward/Leewards, finishing with a Round the Lough on 29th.

Once again we are indebted to Tom Bell and Grange Wine Merchants for their generous sponsorship of the Autumn Series and this has enabled us to run the event with no entry fee. 
Race documents are on the event page on this web site and note that competitors MUST complete an Entry Form and submit to sailingsecretary@ruyc.uk.

The RYAYTC powered by the RORC Rating Office is a new initiative to promote participation in racing by cruising yachts and cruiser-racers. The objective is to provide a simple rating assessment so that skippers of any skill level may feel encouraged to race their boats in club events and port regattas.

Link to the YTC page with application form and more details - here  or contact the Sailing Secretary for more information sailingsecretary@ruyc.co.uk

The YTC Certificate is FREE !

Club Announcement

We would like to take the opportunity to thank fellow club member, Ross Boyd and the team at RBCA Belfast for their support and kind contribution.

If you are participating in RBCA Club Racing at RUYC on Thursdays throughout the summer, please note that the Sailing Programme for the year is available from our web site as are the Sailing Instructions.  This season we will be trialing a Committee Boat start for some races so remember to look for Code Flag W flying from the Club Battery and at the Marina.  All competitors are welcome to RUYC after racing for refreshment over their race debrief.

Taking place over the weekend of 24th & 25th June the Club is excited to be hosting two prestigious events: The RS Elite Irish National Championships and the IRC & RC-35 Keelboat Weekend.
