Cove Sailing Club (CSC) elected Quarter Ton yachtsman Dominic Losty as Commodore at Tuesday night's AGM.

After a busy and successful year for the Cork Harbour club, Losty takes over from outgoing Niall Hawes.

Losty is a long-time Quarter Ton sailor notching up notable victories such as an overall win in the Quarter Ton Cup in 2014, sailing with his brother Jason on 'Illes Pitiuses' in Cowes.

More recently, Losty is part of a Cork Harbour resurgence of 25-foot-sized boats and campaigning the quarter tonner, Illegal, that took second in IRC Class Two at the RCYC 'At Home' Regatta in August.

Cove Sailing Club members elected Cathy Mullan as Vice Commodore. The Treasurer is Micheal O'Driscoll, and the CSC Secretary is Aine Ni Chinneide.

As part of the conclusion to a busy 2022 season, CSC made its Club Person of the Year Award to the youngest-ever recipient, as Afloat reports here.
