Donal O’Sullivan is December’s Sailor of the Month (Services to Sailing)

1st January 2019

Donal O’Sullivan – his extensive contribution to Dublin Bay SC includes compiling the Club’s history for its Centenary in 1984

Donal O’Sullivan’s retirement after 27 years as Honorary Secretary of Dublin Bay Sailing Club provides the opportunity for honours from all sides for someone whose contribution to the continuing vitality of one of the world’s largest yacht racing organisations is unparalleled.

He belies his age with a continuing enthusiasm for sailing and a sense of erudite curiosity on all topics which enhances his many friendships.

The fact that he compiled the comprehensive history of DBSC for its Centenary way back in 1984 is only part of the lengthy achievement of a very accomplished contributor to our sport.
