The 2016 schedule _ published

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2016

The provisional LFYC 2016 schedule is now published. All dinghy classes and all levels of sailors are welcome. There is a LFYC skippers handicap scheme to give sailors and boats of every class and ability a good chance.

This year there are some noteable changes to the schedule: and I draw your attention to the following:

NEW: Wednesday evening series. This replaces the Tuesday and Thursday night races that occurred every other week depending on tide. Now there is a race every Wednesday, easy to remember and easy to plan for!

NEW: Novice crew. There is a special series for those who are sailing together as a team for the first season.

PUNTS: There is a series of LOUGH FOYLE PUNT races! These are spectacular to watch. Highly recommended viewing, keep your eye out on his blog.

SPECIAL EVENTS: This year we look forward to the Peace Bridge Race, the 3rd Clipper festival, the Mountjoy Challenge, the Moville Regatta, and at the end of the season the Hot Toddy event.

TRAINING: We will be holding TRAINING SESSIONS on Friday nights between May and Sept. Friday Evenings 7pm to 9 pm (Tide & Weather Permitting)Cost Only £10 per session or (£20 for 3 sessions)For more information, or to Book: Email: sailing@lfyc.co.uk Or Phone Bill: 07845 148180
