Royal St. George Yacht Club

The Royal St. George was founded in 1846, or, rather, it would be more correct to say that the Royal Kingstown Yacht Club was formed in that year, and afterwards changed its name to that by which we know it to-day. Before the date referred to there was a Royal Irish Yacht Club in Dublin, formed in 1838, which must not, however, be confused with the existing club of that name. It was upon the dissolution of that organization that the Kingstown club was formed, so that the St. George may be said to have descended from the original Royal Irish, and to have had an almost continuous history from 1838.

Its quarters are situated at Kingstown, inside the harbour. To see anything of the big-class racing from the club-house it is necessary to ascend to the top of the building, but those who wish to follow it closely usually betake themselves to the end of the outer arm of the breakwater, the fort at the end of which is used by the officers of the day. The harbour entrance forms the starting and finishing line. The club-houses of the St. George and Irish are almost adjoining, and the two clubs work in perfect harmony, and give their annual regattas alternately. It is the custom amongst Irish clubs, and an excellent one, to make the annual regatta the occasion of a big social function, and the Royal St. George is no exception to the rule. As some compensation for not being able to obtain an uninterrupted view of the big vessels from the club precincts, there is always a series of aquatic sports provided for the amusement of visitors, immediately in front of the club, which is always crowded on these occasions.

The course is an open and fair one, and given a moderate breeze and good entries, excellent sport may be looked for. Unfortunately, in more recent years this regatta has suffered in common with the other Irish fixtures owing to the clashing of dates, more particularly those of foreign regattas. We have, therefore, to look back a few years for some of the most famous matches sailed under the St. George’s burgee. Take, for instance, the regatta of 1878. There were on that occasion seven vessels of over 100 tons competing for the Queen’s Cup, while the ‘forties’ numbered four and the ‘twenties’ five. In later years we have not seen such a fleet as that in Dublin Bay. In the year named the Queen’s Cup was won by the Cythera. She seems to have had rare luck in that district, for she won three Queen’s Cups in Dublin Bay. The race for the King’s Cup in 1906 had three competitors, one of which, Nyria, gave up early in the race owing to a ‘carry-away.’ The White Heather won the cup on that occasion, and crossed the winning-line almost under bare poles. There was every appearance of a heavy thunder squall coming down the bay, and White Heather’s skipper, to keep his canvas dry, commenced to stow it some time before the line was fetched. Her only remaining opponent then was some miles astern, so that he was so far safe, but the incident is somewhat unique in yacht­ racing—not many such risks are taken with a King’s Cup at stake

Royal St George Yacht Club

The Kingstown Boat Club, from which the Royal St. George Yacht Club evolved, was founded in 1838 by a small group of boating enthusiasts who had decided that the (River) Liffey was every year becoming fouler and less agreeable for aquatic pursuits. They applied to the Commissioner for Public Works, and were granted a piece of ground near Dun Laoghaire Harbour on which to build a clubhouse the first privately owned building to stand on publicly owned space. Initially, the members main interest was in rowing, but membership grew rapidly, and amongst them were many well-known yachtsmen of the day. The George has a long tradition of racing and cruising, and members have, from the start, made their mark in home and international waters.

Description.

The Club gradually gathered pace and has become, with the passage of time and the unstinting efforts of its Flag Officers, committees and members, a world-class yacht club. Today, the RSGYC has a Membership of 1,900 and a full range of sailing, social and race activities. The Club offers a full bar and catering service for Members, Visitors and Guests.

SAVE THE DATE! Sailing Oscars Night Saturday, 3rd February 2018! We are now open for nominations so visit our website to nominate your sailors! Closing Date: Friday 12th January, 2018

Sports Capital Grant: We are delighted to announce that the Royal St. George Yacht Club has been successful in our application for a Sports Capital Grant for the replacement of one of our flights of team racing Firefly dinghies. The grant of just over €31,000 will be used to replace our blue and red flight of 6 boats, which is now over 15 years old. These boats have served the club well over the years, but are nearing the end of their useful life – having been kept in service over the years under the tender care of John Sheehy, Tino Hyland, Ben Cooke and Chris Arrowsmith, to name but a few! The new boats will be put to good use over the coming years, given the enthusiasm for team racing, particularly amongst our youth and college sailors. Plans are already underway for 2018, with the Leinster Schools’ Team Racing in February, an event to mark the 70th anniversary of Team Racing in April (celebrating the origin of Team Racing which started in the RSGYC), the ever-growing youth Elmo Cup event in September and the Irish Team Racing Nationals in October. We will also have an ongoing programme of school, youth and college training, as well as Team Racing clinics as part of our Summer Junior Courses.

The following are the dates of the DBSC 2018 programme: First Tuesday race: 24th April 2018 First Thursday race: 26th April 2018 First Saturday race: 28th April 2018 Last Tuesday race 2018: 28th August 2018 Last Thursday race 2018: 30th August 2018 Last Saturday race 2018: 29th September 2018 Donal O'Sullivan Hon.
