Cruising Inaugural Breakfast - Pre Season Kick Off
Admiral Gerry O'Neill rang in the new season in style at the Cruising Class Inaugural Breakfast on April 12th following a presentation by Regina Martin, to the Admiral with our new Cruising Class Bell. We had ~80 cruising members assemble in the Asgard Room at HYC to mark the 44th consecutive breakfast followed by our Line Heaving Competition.
Members gathered to mark long standing traditions, share memories and celebrated old and new members of the Cruising Community. We look forward to the season ahead as we all prepare to get out on the water and look forward to inviting new members to join us.
Cruising Class Armadas
Armada's start going out in June with planned trips to Redrock, Skerries, Lambay, Greystones and Killiney and lots more including potentially taking an armada to join a maritime festival in Carlingford over the summer. We will send out requests to register interest either as crew or boats next week. Further information for now from cruising@hyc.ie.
