Michael Staveley RIP

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.


SCSC Notice of Race 2021

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.


Pat O’Brien RIP

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