Welcome to the Drascombe Association's Irish website.
Baltimore Programme and instructions can be downloaded here
The Irish Drascombe Owners' Association was set up in order to facilitate Drascombe Association (DA) members in the Euro Zone, whereby we can pay subscriptions and other fees without the hassle of sterling drafts. The Irish Drascombe Owner's Association is fully part of the DA, and is not limited to Drascombe Owners. The Secretary of the "Irish Drascombes" is Jack O'Keeffe, who can be contacted by using the "Contact us" link, or by post to 8 Wesley, Carrigaline, Co.Cork.
Members of the DA in Ireland receive the award winning quarterly magazine "DAN" and can share "simply sailing" for fun by rally participation and informal get-togethers. The DA also provides technical support through our main website forum, and access to competitive and flexible boat insurance from the Paidstow branch of Aston Scott Insurance.
A number of rallys are being planned by the Irish group for 2010, and the first was a SHORE RALLY at Malahide Yacht Club on Saturday Afternoon - February 20th. This event gave the members an opportunity to meet and greet - planning the year ahead.
We are planning rallys at new venues Lough Key and in Lough Swilley this year, We are also gathering in Strangford and we have our biennial event in Baltimore in August. The Lough Key event is articularily suited for families and beginners, being on a sheltered lake with good shore facilities.
See "Upcoming Events" (Left) for more information on our events planned during 2010.
2009 rallys included the annual Strangford rally and two new venue - Lough Neagh. We also had a rally in Cork Harbour - followed by a cruise in company down to Glandore for the Classic regatta week there.
