Dear Members,

It’s my great pleasure to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

What a year it’s been on the water.  From spring racing and Sovereign’s Cup 2025 through to our autumn series, the spirit and camaraderie that defines our club has shone through in every event, every gathering and every shared moment on our beautiful harbour.

As we gather with family and friends over the festive period, I hope you’ll take time to reflect on the wonderful sailing memories we’ve created together this year.

To our dedicated staff and to those of you who’ve volunteered your time, organised events on and off the water or mentored new sailors – thank you.

May your Christmas be filled with fair winds, following seas and precious time with loved ones.  Here’s to 2026 bringing us more adventures, more trophies and more reasons to celebrate what we love about sailing and our wonderful club.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Anthony O’Neill
Commodore, Kinsale Yacht Club
