⛵️ SLYC Youth Series – Making the Most of the Day! ⛵️

A slightly different day on the water for the 4th leg of the SLYS at Strangford Lough Yacht Club!

With very little wind, we managed just one race, but the spirit on the water was second to none.

With plenty of laughter and smiles on every boat, sailors made the most of the conditions…rafting up with friends, enjoying time on the water and showing that Youth Series days are about so much more than racing!

A huge thank you to Strangford Lough Yacht Club, the race team, safety crews, volunteers, coaches and parents for another great event.

Well done to everyone who took part, and congratulations to today’s prize winners! 👏

Next Sunday we head to Killyleagh Yacht Club for the final event of the 2026 Strangford Lough Youth Series! 🏆

⛵️ QYC Gores Island Youth Series – Finally Back! ⛵️

What a fantastic day for the Quoile Yacht Club leg of the Strangford Lough Youth Series! 🌊

After being unable to run the Gores Island race since 2024, it was brilliant to finally get back out there and race around Gores Island once again!

With 30 boats taking to the water in light but great sailing conditions, it was another fantastic day of competitive racing. It was great to see our young sailors putting their skills to the test, building confidence and continuing to develop throughout the season.

A huge thank you to Quoile Yacht Club for hosting, along with the race team, safety crews, volunteers, coaches and parents who make these events possible.

Well done to all our sailors who took part, and congratulations to today’s prize winners! 👏
