| The
International Ribraid season got off with a blast in June with
our overnight trip from Donaghadee to Douglas on the Isle of
Man. The Flotilla of 10 boats encountered some of the trickiest
and roughest conditions that many of the crews had every encountered,
however with our experience Ribraid committee overseeing every
aspect of the cruise the skippers could develop their skills
safely.
We left Donaghadee Harbour on Saturday morning (28th June
2008) after a hearty breakfast provided by Pier 36 and cruised
to Peel to enjoy a picnic hamper provided by the Northern
Bank. After a few hours in Peel the Ribraid then cruised to
Douglas for an overnight stop before backtracking to Port
St Mary for a wonderful Barbeque provided by the sailing club.
On Sunday evening the flotilla returned safely to Donaghadee
through some challenging seas.
Don’t
miss out on the next wonderful international Ribraid taking
place at the end of July, this action packed two day event
Cruises from Bangor in Co Down, Northern Ireland, to the island
of Sanda on the Saturday and Portpatrick on the Sunday returning
to Donaghadee (26th & 27th July 2008).
