The Honourable The Irish Society
Committed to serving the community, quoile yacht club, downpatrick.

First established in 1958 by a small team of enthusiastic sailors on the salt water side of the Quoile River barrier on Strangford Lough, Quoile Yacht Club strives to engage people of all ages and backgrounds in yachting, sailing, motor-boating, and other water sport – making them more accessible to everyone. The Club also aims to promote the many associated benefits, which include better physical and mental health and improvement in overall wellbeing. And seeks to educate people on environmental issues, marine life and conservation. However, Covid-19 has had an impact on usual activities and programmes, and the Club sought help with the purchase of new equipment essential to upholding safety and compliance as they return to the water after a long hiatus. The Committee endorsed a grant of £500 from The Clothworkers’ NI Fund towards various items on the Club’s shopping list and to ensure they can continue to operate within regulations outlined by the Royal Yachting Association and UK Government guidelines.

Gores Island Race Sat 31Aug24
It was on one of the last and best days of the 2024 summer, Quoile Yacht Club held their Gores Island Race. This was the concluding race in the Strangford Lough Youth Series 2024. With bright sunshine and a fair Easterly breeze this race with three starts commenced at 12:00. With an earlier on-shore briefing at 11:00.
The course being set with a start finish line near the main chanel to Quoile Yacht club. The start was sailing across the line towards the main lough. Turning starboard round Gores Island. Rat Island being close to the turn provided a choice of routes. Following the turn and entering a more restricted and hence more flukey wind pattern, the fleet passed along the narrow channel eventually passing over the causeway to re enter the channel to the club and thence to the start finish line. A second lap commenced by hooking round the pin end buoy and covering the course in the other direction. Finishing on the same line and facing the Quoile pontoon and clubhouse. The slower dinghies were not required to complete a second lap. The causeway did generate problems and several capsises for some dinghies.
This long-standing and famous race is usually held on the Sunday following regatta. It’s a hugely popular event for junior sailors and encompasses a full circumnavigation of Gores Island — tides permitting.
Prizes were awarded for each class and finally the overall Youth Series prizes were awarded.
The overall club shield is shown above and the winning club SLYC competitors are in the photo below.
Strangford Lough Yacht Club won the overall series.

Thanks are especially due to the officials, the Rotary Club of Comber, all safety and support boats and those who provided the much welcome catering including hot dogs.
