We have a very special visitor on our pontoon right now, and all club members are warmly invited to come down and take a look.
The Spirit of Shackleton — a magnificent Clipper 70 — is currently berthed at the club ahead of her next round Ireland voyage, and what a sight she is. This is a proper, serious ocean-going yacht. She has sailed the seven seas, will be serving as a training ship and research vessel, and over the coming years she will be doing it all again.
This is a rare opportunity to step aboard a boat of this calibre right here at your own club. Come down, take your time, and get a real sense of what blue-water offshore sailing looks and feels like in person. The skipper and crew are on board and very happy to welcome visitors, answer questions, and share their passion for this wonderful vessel.
We are very fortunate to have her alongside, and it would be a shame to miss her. Whether you’re a seasoned offshore sailor or simply curious about life on the open ocean, the Spirit of Shackleton is well worth a visit.
