Clare Hogan RIP

12th April 2021

The late Clare Hogan brought joy and skill to Irish sailing

It is with the greatest regret that we report the death of Clare Hogan, an extremely talented sailor - particularly in the International Dragon Class - who also gave much to sailing administration, having served as Commodore of the Royal Alfred Yacht Club in Dublin Bay.

Clare was a member of the Royal St. George Yacht Club and a keen Dragon ace campaigning her Dragons Aphrodite and Cloud in Dublin Bay and at various international Dragon events.

Tributes have been paid by Dublin Bay Sailing Club here
