Royal North of Ireland YC lines up packed spring racing on Belfast Lough
Set on the south shore of Belfast Lough at Cultra, Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club opens a busy spring with home‑water racing and visiting fleets adding bite to the programme. [4]The club’s waterfront setup and RYA‑accredited training centre underpin regular evening and weekend starts across dinghies and keelboats, with slipways and moorings keeping turnover slick between races.
