No filter, it did get darker at the North coast, even if the clouds saved our eyes!

Fab turnout of sailors for our Wednesday night Eclipse sailing session.

Light winds required some paddle power coming back to shore!

Thanks a million to our hugely lovely capable young sailors who led the session. Portrush Yacht Club

The sun is shining, school is finishing, and summer is officially here! 🌊☀️

Our courses are run by our own talented young instructors who grew up in our club. They know exactly how to connect with young sailors and build their confidence.

From complete beginners to future adventurers who will eventually sail out to fish around the Skerries or BBQs at Portballintrae.

What a fantastic day at Portrush Commodore’s regatta, Saturday’s 8hr race was ‘blown out’ but the sun split the stones on Sunday for a cheeky 3hr relay race. Here’s the winning duo doing their required second changeover. Slick operators!

Costa del Portrush! A new view of our Sunday sailors playing about around the skerries in light breeze and sunshine. Who could ask for more?!

Three boats and 7 sailors- perfect conditions for boat hopping and ‘capsize practice’.

Much tomfoolery I reckon⛵️🤭

Some actor fella and the legendary AUS skipper Tom Slingsby who started sailing in…dinghies. The only way to learn.

Not long til we can get back to zipping around in the bay. In the meantime, the Irish team are back home after a triumphant Easter in Spain with a tasty gold for Eve McMahon.
