Celebrations at Strangford Lough Yacht Club mark 100th Anniversary of River Class

The River Class is the oldest class racing on Strangford Lough and the fleet of 12 boats which first raced at Royal Ulster Yacht Club have now moved to SLYC. 

The boats were designed by naval architect Alfred Mylne and their origins trace back to 1919 when Belfast Lough sailors were looking for a simple and elegant one-design class to race.

During the centenary celebration event on 26 and 27 June, the Rivers provided competitive close racing for crews.

Race Officer at SLYC, Peter Gault, and his team on the Committee boat, Clara Rose, set six windward-leeward races.

Brothers Graham and Kenny Smyth dominated the competition. Graham narrowly beat his sibling with two firsts, two seconds and a third place. Kenny posted two firsts, a second and two thirds. In third place was Peter Burrows. The first place in the fifth race went to James Nixon, John Witchell and David Lindsay.

The Rivers will now travel to the four day Narrows regatta this weekend (9 July), which is being organised by Portaferry and Strangford.

San Luis Yacht Club 1937 - 1940:

The San Luis Yacht Club was originally established in 1937 with emphasis on sailing and boating activities.  The local papers included many articles about the activities which were being held to stimulate interest in boating in the community.  Club sailing races and other boating events were regular occurrences at the Port up through 1939 when, by then, there was enough common interest to pursue the construction of the clubhouse.  The Club obtained their first lease from the County on December 2,1940.

San Luis Yacht Club 1941 - 1945:

The Club's history has associations with World War II. Shortly after it was completed in 1941 ( the first meeting was held on July 2), the Army began maneuvers on the beach and the clubhouse was even offered as a dry place to sleep on Pearl Harbor Day, December 7. The Club subsequently leased the building to the Navy until 1944 and the Coast Guard until December 1945.

San Luis Yacht Club 1946 - 1954:

In its influence on the harbor and the local area, the Club was supportive of improvements within the harbor and was active in urging the construction of the harbor breakwater when 400 signatures were submitted to the County Board of Supervisors. Members of the Club personally lobbied for the breakwater construction and, later, supported the creation of the Port San Luis Harbor District, established in 1954.

San Luis Yacht Club Present:

The members of the club were drawn together by boating and this bond has held the Club together for more than 70 years.  In the beginning of the Club's history, boats, as well as the clubhouse, were made by hand by the members.  Today the Club has over 200 members and remains active in boating and boating related activities which include sailing races, cruising events, social activities, active liaison with Port officials, Port Board of Directors candidates forums, lectures and demonstrations, and classroom style as well as hands-on education in boating and boating safety.

Russian stuff blowing up: Moscow yacht club goes up in flames

Smoke on the water, the fire in the sky.

Yachts go up in smoke. Could be sabotage or could be insurance fraud or could be another careless smoker.

Sucks when you can’t even get a moped through with a six-pack of water.

The whole road is about 15 km and you can take dozens of similar photos on it. Thanks to the successful operation of drones, Russians are sitting in tree lines and  forests with a minimum of ammunition, food and water. There were cases when we destroyed a moped with which Russians tried to bring a pack of 6 bottles of water to the position.”

No, no, no. We weren’t trying to hit the residential building. We were trying to hit the hospital.

In  this video  a Russian soldier is wounded by an FPV drone. While he is lying in the road and his comrade walks up to him, he motions to his head. His comrade then finishes him off with a shot to the head.

Life is brutal in the Russian Army.

You can believe that this is the result of climate change if you like, but clearly this is the wrath of God at work. Expect to see locust swarms and frogs next.
