20th December 2023

East Down Yacht Club's 2024 Icicle Series on Strangford Lough is open to all dinghies next January

East Down Yacht Club will start the New Year with its annual Icicle Series on Sunday, 7th January. It will run for six Sundays, ending on 11th February.

The Club is situated on a nine-acre site on the western shore of Strangford Lough, about a mile from the town of Killyleagh.

The event is open to all dinghies, and the Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions are now on the official notice board at www.edyc.co.uk.

Last year, ten assorted dinghies took part, and it was won by Patrick Hamilton in a Laser, with Robbie Richardson and John Patterson runners up in a GP 14.
