Antrim Boat Club

16th July 2009

Located on the sheltered north east shore of Lough Neagh Antrim Boat Club sits in woodland just a short walk along the beach from Shanes Castle. Most of our events take place in Antrim Bay giving a safe area of about six square miles while at any time never being out of sight of land. 

As one of the leading sailing clubs on Lough Neagh, Antrim Boat Club hosts a range of sailing events. From the competitive winter series, attracting boats and sailors from Strangford Lough and further a field, to the more relaxed summer series  taking place on warm Thursday evenings throughout the summer months.

The Boat club also hosts many windsurfing and jet skiing events as well as accommodating and promoting a wide variety of other water sports activates on the Lough. We also  keep competitors and spectators alike up to date on many events with on-line race reports, results and photos.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
