Wicklow Sailing Club members elected Karen Kissane as Commodore at their recent AGM.
Kissane has been hon secretary of the east coast club for the last few years and moves into her new role with immediate effect.
She has spent many years committed and dedicated to helping run WSC and was the overwhelming choice for Commodore.
At the AGM, WSC extended a huge thanks to outgoing Commodore Kyran O'Grady, who has been at the helm of Wicklow Sailing Club for the last number of years.
O'Grady led WSC through a successful Round Ireland Yacht Race in 2022, amongst many other events and improvements in the club.
"He leaves a lasting legacy in this role and we thank him for all his hard work, endless hours of dedication and valuable leadership", a club spokesperson told Afloat.
