An ENORMOUS well done and thank you to Aidan Pounder and Rob Milligan.

Both of these gentlemen won an Inpact Award today from the (tag RYA Northern Ireland) at Ballyholme Yacht Club’s (BYC) Regatta. As well as supporting and improving sailing at BYC they have been huge supporters of RUYC and we are indebted to them!

Well done to you both!
