The club was delighted to host this year's Ulster GP14 Championships over the weekend. The event had to take account of the current restrictions of course, but the the weather was favourable in this regard, enabling briefings, presentations and hospitality to be held comfortably outdoors. There were 28 boats taking part, from many of the GP14 Ireland affiliated clubs, and we had 2 great days of competitive, enjoyable racing. The Gold fleet winners were Ger Owens and Melanie Morris, of Royal St. George Yacht Club. It was excellent to see so many of our own members and boats taking part with good results across the Gold, Silver, and Bronze fleets. Special mention has to go to Steven and Daniel Nelson who took one of our club boats to 2nd place in the Silver fleet, and a very respectable 6th overall. Thanks to everyone who took part, both on and off the water!

This has assisted with the much needed refurbishment of the club's changing rooms, which will reopen imminently, and be of great benefit to our members. |
