New Dublin Bay Commodore Ann Kirwan Brings Many Talents to DBSC
12th December 2020
This week, Ann Kirwan of the National Yacht Club became the 25th Commodore of Dublin Bay Sailing Club at the club s 136th Annual General Meeting, in succession to Jonathan Nicholson of the Royal St George YC. This harmonious change of the watch comes at the conclusion of a truncated season in which, despite the adverse effects of the pandemic, DBSC managed to put through a very complete yet still fully COVID-compliant AIB-sponsored racing programme.
In order to understand how this was possible, we need to look at the origins of the club, and how it comes to be in the unique position it fills today. For if there s another sailing body in the world which can be reasonably ranked with Dublin Bay Sailing Club, then we d be interested to hear about it for purposes of comparison.
