The Club, situated on the northern side of Kircubbin Bay, has a modest Club House with a function room, changing and shower facilities, and a well equipped kitchen. There is also a cosy Bar which serves a
selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
Current Bar Opening Times are Sundays, 4.30 to 6.30 pm. The Bar also opens on a Thursday evening after racing during the sailing season as required. The Bar is staffed by volunteers organised by a small sub-committee.
Members may book the clubroom for private functions such as birthday parties, wedding receptions, etc., for which late licences can be available given reasonable notice. Please note members organising any social functions in the clubhouse are responsible for ensuring that current Covid-19 regulations are followed ; the Club and its Management Committee cannot take on this responsibility.
The Club offers members limited space for the storage of dinghies & tenders, and for the over-winter parking of boats (on a mobile trailer & subject to payment of an annual charge). Water & electricity points are provided in the boat park.
All Full and Family Members are entitled to an entry fob to the clubhouse and the entrance gate. Please contact any Committee Member if you require a replacement entry fob – a small charge is levied to cover its cost.
The Club has its roots in competitive sailing which was originally based at the Harbour in Kircubbin and has been active on the sailing scene in Strangford Lough since the early 1900s. Even it the early days of the Club, Kircubbin’s sailors were among the best in Strangford Lough. In the 1960’s & 70’s, the Club’s Flying Fifteen fleet produced some of the best competitors in that class in the world.
Although as the name suggests, the promotion of sailing is a principal objective of the club, we welcome other types of craft as well. If you cast your eye around the Bay during the summer you will see motor cruisers, speed boats, fishing boats and cabin/day boats as well as sailing boats.
