The Cruising Association of Ireland is visitng Belfast Lough in July and will be welcomed to RUYC as part of their trip.

Congratulations to the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron on retaining the Sir Thomas Lipton Memorial Cup in Bermuda.  Good luck and great racing for the final challenge from all at RUYC.

Results for the Round the Lough Series are now on Results Central

Club racing on Thursday was a light weather damp affair but two rounds of a fairly short course were sailed.

Good luck everyone and enjoy your racing at RUYC this year.

Many thanks to Jim and Barbara Coffey for the great series of quizzes over the last few months.

A relaxed informal meeting reflecting the ethos of those 'cruising minded' persons present was enjoyed by just under 20 attendees.
