We are delighted to welcome a very special guest to Dún Laoghaire and to Royal St. George Yacht Club — Pam Lee, one of Ireland’s leading offshore sailors and a truly phenomenal ambassador for the sport.
Pam will be joining us ahead of her start in the Round Ireland Race, competing in Class 40 — one of the toughest and most demanding classes in offshore racing. There are two fantastic opportunities to meet her and hear her story, and we’d encourage every club member to come along.
First — Saturday Evening, 14th June — Talk at the DMYC
The weekend begins with a special open evening at the Dún Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club, where Pam is hosting a casual, welcoming event open to members of all the Dún Laoghaire clubs. She will be giving an adapted version of her recent TEDx talk, Oceans of Possibilities, and speaking about her inspiring #EmpowHer project. It promises to be a wonderful, thought-provoking, and thoroughly enjoyable evening. Families are very welcome. If you’re out sailing on Saturday, why not stroll over to the DMYC afterwards — you won’t regret it.
Then — Sunday 15th June — Boat Visit at Royal St. George
On Sunday 15th June, Pam and her Class 40 will be berthing at Royal St. George as our guests, where she will remain until the start of the Round Ireland Race. Come down to the club, step aboard, and see a truly serious offshore racing machine up close. Meet Pam, soak up the atmosphere, and experience what offshore racing at the highest level really looks and feels like.
And don’t forget — the Spirit of Shackleton is also currently alongside at the club. Two extraordinary ocean-going vessels, right here at your club, at the same time. It is a wonderful reminder of what makes Royal St. George such a special place, and a real opportunity to extend that famous warm George welcome to our offshore sailing visitors.
Come on down — see the boats, meet the sailors, and be part of it.
All club members are warmly encouraged to visit. We hope to see you there!
