A huge thank you to everyone who dropped by our Heritage Week open day event on Saturday.

The Dunleary was looking her finest, and we were thrilled to welcome all the visitors throughout the afternoon.

It was wonderful to see people connect with the story of the Dunleary and share memories, questions, and encouragement. Events like these remind us just how much this boat means to the community.

Big thanks to our volunteers and supporters who helped make the day such a success — and to The Heritage Council and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council for their continued support of the restoration of the historic lifeboat exRNLB Dunleary.

Onwards with the restoration – and we’ll see you again soon!

Amazing progress being made on the ex RNLB Dunleary. Thanks to all our wonderful volunteers who have been putting in a lot of hours bringing her back to life. Lots more work to do but she is starting to look like a lifeboat again. The first picture is how she looked when she first arrived back in Dun Laoghaire harbour in 2017..we’ve come a long way since then!

**A big shout-out to all the volunteers who put in their time and effort to bring the Dunleary back to life! 🙌 Stay tuned for more updates!
