Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club is located on the Southern Shores of Belfast Lough.

Belfast Lough is an open Lough on the east coast of Ireland and provides an excellent venue for Championship Racing with an extensive race area and minimal tidal influence.

Royal North is famous for its warm welcome and hospitality and has a heritage with Dragons dating back to the 1930’s. The Club has previously hosted the Edinburgh Cup, Irish Championships and British Northern Area Championships.

THE RACING

The Irish Dragon fleet comprises boats from Dublin Bay, Kinsale and Glandore and with ‘Kin’ being the main Dragon racing from Royal North.

A high standard of racing is enjoyed within Ireland with many Irish competitors regularly competing internationally.

We expect a high turnout of the Irish fleet for the 2010 Irish Championship at Royal North of Ireland and would welcome out International friends to come and visit us in our home waters and enjoy a competitive and most enjoyable 4 days racing.
