HONORARY SECRETARY'S REPORT: 1954 SEASON
Two Committee Meetings were held during the year, both well attended and the thanks of the Club are recorded to the Royal St. George Yacht Club and Royal Irish Yacht Club for the facilities afforded to us.
Racing:
The Race from Cork Harbour to Dunmore East was abandoned, but the Rear-Commodore sportingly sailed to Dunmore East to join in the rally subsequent to the finish of the race from Dun Laoghaire to Dunmore East.
The race from Dun Laoghaire to Dunmore East attracted a most encouraging number of entrants, although it proved to be rather prolonged and at times tedious and the wind, fresh at the start, fell away and became light and variable with fog patches and generally poor visibility.
