Dear Members,
For those of you who have not yet heard it is with great sadness that we inform you of the death of Michael Stavely. He was a truly wonderful man and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him, not least his many friends in the SCSC.
Rachel and Gerry MacNulty have known Michael and the Stavely family for many years and have kindly written a few words.
Please read this important notice carefully – As far as possible we wish to hold a racing programme similar to previous years, however it is likely there will need to be some variation to the way the programme is run for instance with respect to gatherings ashore, pre-race meetings, starts (with the option of gate starts), safety cover and social events.
The SCSC Committee is taking into consideration Covid 19 restrictions and changes may occur between now and August 1st. The Committee may have to cancel the event or make late alterations to the programme in order to be compliant with Covid 19 guidelines in early August.
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Pat O’Brien in Dublin yesterday at the age of 94. Pat was pre-deceased by husband Rex in 2000. The O’Brien family stayed in West Tower for many years and were stalwarts of the sailing club. Pat was an avid…
SCSC regrets to announce the death of long-time non-sailing club member, Roger Pisani.

Indeed, he was particularly proud that the bathtub dinghy he…

11th May 2020 Dear SCSC Members, Clearly we are experiencing unprecedented times. As I am sure you are all aware, it is very unlikely the SCSC sailing fortnight will go ahead as planned this year. Although recreational sailing is likely to be one of the first sports to resume after…
Colm O’Driscoll just got himself a new drone and practiced in Castletownshend. Some nice shots of the village amid the lockdown. Thanks to Mark Salter-Townshend for the tip
The South Cork Sailing Club extends our condolences to our neighbours at the Glandore Harbour Yacht Club. It’s with a heavy heart that we note that Karen Horgan , the commodore of Glandore HYC 2016-2017, has passed away. From Mike Toogood, SCSC Racing Secretary: “She was a lovely lady who…
SCSC is sorry to announce the passing of Colm Buckley. Current member Peter Buckley announced his father’s death after a long illness. Colm will be remembered as a long-time and active member of the club. He contributed in many ways. Notably, club lore has it that it was he who…
Dear Fellow Members, Our SCSC Summer of 2019 seems a bit of a distant memory now, however I’d like to share some news about our fellow water enthusiasts in CT who are making Big Waves …. From West Cork to Hong Kong – Castletownshend Rowing Club members Eimear Walsh and…
