History
The North of Ireland Yacht Club was formed in 1899; it became known as 'The Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club' in 1902.[1]
1948 Summer Olympics Dragon Event
George Herbert Brown (28 April 1915 – 9 December 1995), Jack Wallace (21 May 1915 – 1 January 1991), and Eric Strain (1 December 1915 – 13 February 1975), sailed on the Ceres II in the Dragon event at the 1948 Summer Olympics, ultimately placing 4th.[2]
All members of this team were associated with the Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club.[3][4][5]
Refurbishment
There was a major club refurbishment in October 2010, which started with a total expenditure of £300,000. The objective of this refurbishment was the improvement and upgrading of the Club facilities and the enhancement of the club environment.[6][7]
As of 2024, the club has roughly 1,000 members; they are also an accredited training centre for the RYA.[8]
