I've had a lot of enquiries recently about our sailing times at the Lough. Can I suggest to anyone who is that your best time is 11:00 on a Sunday morning. We are currently midway through the Winter League Series so the turnout of boats is generally good! If you have a more specific interest in possibly starting model yachting send me a PM and I can send you an information leaflet.

Happy New Year to all members and a special thank you to Cork City Council and the general public for all the support we received in 2016! Keep sending your photos to us!!

I bare the sad news that Tom Barry, our honorary "Captain", has passed away on to calming waters! I am aware that some of you knew Tom for many years but some of us only in recent times through Cork Model Yacht Club. In the short time I knew Tom he proved himself to be a perfect gentleman, a scholar, and fond of a bit of cheeky wit! Sometime at eve when the tide is low, I shall slip my moorings and sail away, With no response to a friendly hail, In the silent hush of the twilight pale, When the night stoops down to embrace the day And the voices call in the water's flow. Sometime at eve when the tide is low, I shall slip my moorings and sail away. Through purple shadows that darkly trail O'er the ebbing tide of the unknown sea, And a ripple of waters to tell the tale Of a lonely voyager, sailing away To mystic isles, where at anchor lay The craft of those who had sailed before O'er the unknown sea to the unknown shore. A few who have watched me sail away Will miss my craft from the busy bay; Some friendly barques were anchored near, Some loving souls that my heart held dear In silent sorrow will drop a tear; But I shall have peacefully furled my sail In mooring sheltered from the storm and gale, And greeted friends who had sailed before O'er the unknown sea to the unknown shore. - Elizabeth Clark Hardy Tom Barry, RIP, you will be missed!

The results of the 2016 Summer IOM League are in and the congratulations are due to Tong Gay (1st), Barry Leach (02nd) and Patrick Horgan (03rd). It was a hard fought series with light winds on the final day extending the normal sailing time by up to 40 minutes. In October the Winter IOM League will start and it will entail both a new course layout to offer better public viewing but also development of rule application. We look forward to seeing as many sailors as possible on the water!
