Peter Gilmore has joined RYA Northern Ireland as its new marketing and communications executive.
The Cardiff University graduate, who was born in Dublin and grew up in NI, has most recently been freelancing as a journalist and a reporter with ITV and Greatest Hits Radio.
And he comes with a sailing pedigree too, having spent time on various RYA performance squads in his teens and also sailed across the Atlantic with his seagoing family.
