Welcome to the Summer! It seems like yesterday we were all busy booking sailing courses for the Summer months whilst knee deep in snow!.  Oh how the months have rolled by and the weather has improved dramatically!.

It is wonderful to see 113 sailors take the water each day in Mediterranean type conditions under the watchful eye of Senior Instructor Pierce Ryan and ably assisted by an energetic team of instructors, boat stewards and helpers.

All members recently received a letter from our Commodore Niall O'Neill together with their annual subcription notice from the Treasurer - Mark Ginn.  Also enclosed was the 2018 Programme - a copy is attached below for your convenience.

The National 18ft Class held their Irish National Championships over the weekend of the 2nd/3rd June.  Eleven boats competed in this very competitive class with Ewen Barry helming "D'Good, D'Bad and D'Blaster" coming out as winners.  David O'Brien, Race Officer for the event held 8 races in over the two days.  

As you are all very much aware there is new legislation coming into effect tomorrow 25th May which will effect every business and organisation in the country.  Baltimore Sailing Club will be no exception.  As the Commodore Niall O'Neill highlighted to all members in his recent letter, he along with the Committee is working to ensure that the Club are compliant with these new regulations.
