Are you the owner of Royal Ulster Yacht Club?
Nigel, the organiser, would like to extend a warm invitation to the sports community from the Royal Ulster Yacht Club. Nestled in Bangor and boasting a history that stretches back to 1866, the club sits proudly overlooking Bangor Bay, offering lovely views of the Co Antrim shore and beyond.
RUYC runs an exciting racing programme from Easter to October. The sheltered waters of Bangor Bay make it perfect for competitive sailing. There are also Cruises in Company to various destinations in Ireland and Scotland, ideal for those who enjoy social sailing and exploring new waters.
Beyond the water, RUYC is alive with social activities all year round. From Club Night Talks to Scottish Dancing, RYA Training Courses to Festive Dinners and Dances, there's always something happening. These events are great for fostering a sense of community and making new friends.
Visitors, including those mooring at the nearby Quay Marinas Bangor Marina, are always welcomed with open arms. RUYC prides itself on its friendly atmosphere where everyone feels at home.
Dining at RUYC is also a treat, with options for both formal and casual meals. The dining room offers fantastic views over Belfast Lough, making it a favourite spot for special occasions. Menus are available on the club's website for anyone who wants to plan ahead.
Those looking to improve their sailing skills can enrol in RYA Approved Courses, catering to all skill levels from beginners to seasoned racers. It’s a brilliant way to continuously learn and improve.
Nigel encourages everyone to stay informed about the latest RUYC news and events via the club's website and social media pages, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. The website serves as a central hub for all the information you might need – from event calendars to race results.
For those interested in joining RUYC, more details about the membership application process can be found on the website. You can also check out the range of club clothing and accessories online, with orders available at the clubhouse.
Nigel proudly notes that RUYC is a vibrant community of sailors and yachting enthusiasts. With its fantastic location, extensive race programme, varied social events, and commitment to training, RUYC is a wonderful place for anyone who loves sailing.
