Terence Moran, Glen Sailor

Dublin Bay Sailing Club (DBSC) reports that Glen keeboat sailor Terence Moran died, suddenly and unexpectedly, after Tuesday night’s racing in Dublin Bay, just as his boat, Glenroan, was picking up its mooring in front of the Royal St. George Yacht Club.

DBSC has extended its sympathy to his wife, Joan, and his son Thomas. The club also shares the sadness of his boat-partner, Tim O’Sullivan, as well as that of his numerous friends in the Glen class, of which he was class captain in 2015.

About the Endurance II Replica Project

An Irish project has been launched on the 150th anniversary of explorer Ernest Shackleton's birth, to build a replica of his ship, Endurance II, in County Kildare.

The project has high-profile patrons such as the Prince Albert II of Monaco, Alexandra Shackleton (Shackleton's granddaughter), and Richard Garriott, the President of the Explorer's Club.

The project is still at the concept stage, so the estimated cost of construction, which is expected to be around €14m, and the annual operational budget of €1.5m are not yet confirmed.

The project organisers are seeking $600,000 (€556,350) from 12 "founders," who will each contribute $50,000. The chairman of private investment firm Kilcullen Kapital Partners, Galway-born O’Coineen, bought the Business Post newspaper in 2018.
