HRH The Duke of Gloucester Visits the Royal Ulster Yacht Club (RUYC) Bangor Co Down
Visit to Royal Ulster Yacht Club
HRH The Duke of Gloucester visited the Royal Ulster Yacht Club (RUYC), Bangor, Co Down. HRH is the Commodore and shows great interest in Club activities.
The Ulster Yacht Club, formed in 1866, was granted a Royal Warrant in 1869. In 1953 Her Majesty The Queen became Patron of the Club. A strong link exists between the Royal Ulster Yacht Club and the America’s Cup, with Sir Thomas Lipton’s five challenges between 1898 and 1930. In 1970 the Club provided a trophy in his memory which is presented, on the occasion of each challenge, to the Yacht Club which has won the Challengers races and is about to race for the America’s Cup.
Upon arrival HRH was greeted by Lord-lieutenant of County Down, Mr David Lindsay. Upstairs HRH met the RUYC officers and their spouses who were presented by Dr Stanton Adair, Vice-Commodore, Royal Ulster Yacht Club, who accompanied HRH throughout the engagement.
In the Lipton Room HRH heard a brief presentation on Sir Thomas Lipton by Michael McKee, Club Historian and Gordon Finlay, Club Archivist, and viewed the Club’s Silverware and Trophies.
In the Gloucester Room HRH met RUYC General Committee Members and their partners, before proceeding to the Strangers’ Room where HRH went on to meet RUYC Past Flag Officers and their partners.
Later in the Lounge during a buffet lunch HRH met one hundred and fifty current members.
Dr Adair said a few words before inviting HRH to present a gift of an engraved crystal vase to long serving member of staff Heather Hamilton. Dr Adair then invited HRH to say a few words and to sign the Visitors’ Book.
Before departing the Club HRH met a number of key RUYC staff.

The race Director for Bangor Regatta, Rory Flannigan said he is ‘incredibly excited’ to welcome everyone to Bangor and to Royal Ulster Yacht Club.
“I am particularly excited for the first race; to watch everyone start and to see all the different sized yachts compete against one another will be a sight to behold,” he said. “And I am truly indebted to the volunteers who will make this event such a success.”

ROYAL ULSTER YACHT CLUB, BANGORBuilding surveying consultancy. Royal Ulster Yacht Club is a 2 storey Tudorbethan yacht club built circa 1899 to designs by Vincent Craig. The building includes attic and tower features constructed on an irregular floor plan with various extensions and alterations carried out in the 20th Century. Located on the coast, east of Bangor town centre overlooking Belfast Lough, the property is an impressive construction utilizing pitched rosemary tiled roofs with crested ridged tiles. Rainwater goods are traditional cast iron OG moulded guttering with circular downpipes and there are a series of tall red brick clustered chimney/stacks with terracotta pots. The walls are constructed with a red brick Flemish bond with moulded brick string and plinth course. Windows throughout are generally arched timber sliding sash windows. Johnston Houston initially received instructions in 2021 from the Club’s Esates Committee to undertake a detailed Condition Survey of this B1 listed building with a view to providing a Planned Preventative Maintenance report and summary of maintenance requirements over a 5 year time frame. A report was presented to the Estates Committee in 2021 when essential backlog maintenance works were addressed to include emergency repairs to rainwater goods, leak prevention and repairs to valley gutters and essential roofing repairs. Our 5 year forward maintenance plan has prioritized works to avoid duplication of access scaffolding costs to the club and identified a requirement for essential façade and roofing repairs. Working closely with NIEA and the Club’s Estates Committee, Johnston Houston have now procured and led repairs and restoration works in both 2022 and 2023. The 2023 scheme of works included the replacement of obsolete roof tiles, essential masonry and stone repairs and repointing brickwork. Johnston Houston are delighted to continue our close working relationship with the RUYC for this ongoing heritage restoration project.

Sailing Instructions Race Results Facebook Event Programme Latest NewsThree in a row for j109 storm as bangor regatta 2024 sees thrilling finish in unpredictable weather.  In like a lion and out like a lamb is said to mean that the month of March should end with quiet weather compared to a lion. But this is June, and the Belfast Lough weather hasn't reached the lamb stage yet. With not much more than 15 knots of a breeze from the North at times, light weather aficionados would have liked today's racing in the final rounds of Bangor Regatta 2024, though flukey and with severe wind shifts. Exciting Finale In Prospect at BR 2024 on Belfast Lough Patience is a virtue they say and that is what was needed this morning when Belfast Lough was like a mirror and the Bangor Regatta fleet was motionless in the Marina. However word was that this forced stoppage was very much welcomed by some as after two days of hard racing and some revelling there were many tired bodies. Kelly Family's J109 Storm Leads at Bangor Regatta 2024 Never mind what's going on elsewhere In Ireland this weekend; with Shania Twain in Belfast's Ormeau Park, Taylor Swift at the Aviva, the All-Ireland Quarter GAA Finals in Croke Park and the Foyle Maritime Festival in Derry, there was plenty of action in Belfast Lough with the second day of Bangor Regatta drawing the full 40 strong fleet racing in rather more encouraging conditions than yesterday. New trophy for cruising yachts at Royal Ulster Yacht Club Back to News   Royal Ulster Yacht ClubThe first yacht club established on Belfast Lough was, as already stated in these pages, the Royal Northern. That club, as we have seen, after forming a branch on the Clyde, developed into a Clyde club—at any rate, the Clyde section seceded from the original one, and settled at Rothesay. The Royal Ulster, the senior club in the Lough at the present time, was founded in the year 1866. The club soon came into prominence, and its regattas for many years have been visited by the big-class racing yachts which do the round of the principal coast fixtures. Before the season became as crowded as it now is with regattas, vessels were in the habit of crossing to Belfast Lough from the Clyde immediately after the ‘fortnight.’ The clubhouse is situated about a mile out from Bangor on the south side of the Lough. For a time an ordinary dwelling-house served the purpose of club quarters, but as the organization flourished and increased in prosperity, larger premises became necessary, and the present handsome club-house was built. It stands on an eminence, whence a magnificent view of the Lough can be obtained. The yachts taking part in the races are never out of sight, while by making an ascent to the tower one looks down on the Lough as on to a chess-board, and every move of the competing vessels can be watched, and oftentimes anticipated. From this elevation one can see new breezes coming into the Lough, or perhaps can see that a certain boat, unless she puts about very soon, will be right out of the breeze she has been holding. In other words, from this coign of vantage one can often see what is about to happen before those aboard the yachts themselves. The club came into great prominence in connection with the more recent America Cup matches, as it was through the Royal Ulster that Sir Thomas Lipton sent his challenges on three different occasions to the New York Yacht Club, and the representative committee on this side was formed of members of this club. Belfast Lough has often been referred to as the cradle of the one-design classes, and this form of racing has certainly taken root and flourished in the district. There are several different classes, and the club provides a very full programme of races during the season for the local boats. The competition among the local craft is very keen. The boats in the biggest class are excellent little craft. There is a class of nearly the same dimensions in Dublin Bay, and a feature of the annual regattas is the meeting of representatives of these two classes, between which there is the keenest rivalry. The club-house is an excellently arranged building, and, in, addition to all the ordinary requirements of a club, contains a number of bedrooms on the top story, which are in great demand at regatta times for members coming from a distance. On the landing of the principal staircase there is an interesting relic of a memorable accident, in the tiller of the ill-fated Valkyrie II ., which was sunk on the Clyde. There is an inscription on it as follows: ‘Tiller of Valkyrie II . Presented to the R.U.Y.C. by D. C. Kemp. At the start of the race for the Muir Memorial Challenge Cup, Mudhook Regatta, Hunter’s Quay, N.B., on 5th July, 1894, the Valkyrie II was sunk after being in collision with the Satanita . | |||||
