Casual Boatmen Wanted 2023 / 2024
The National Yacht Club is currently looking to complement the pool of casual boatmen available to work in the Club's boathouse.
The work carried out by casual boatmen, under the supervision of experienced staff, is wide ranging and both demanding and rewarding in equal measures.
Casual boatmen are involved in all the boathouse duties, ranging from the cleanliness and maintenance of the platform to ferrying members to the moorings to assisting with crane lifts to maintaining club crafts (dinghies, keelboats, RIBs, launches etc)
The boathouse operates 7 days / week all year round, 8h / day in the winter and 12h / day in the summer, with a break around Christmas / New Year.
Casual boatmen, mostly university students, tend to stay with us for many years as hours worked can be quite flexible and tailored to individual requirements.
If you interested in joining the pool of casual boatmen, or even inquire for further details, please fill in the form here

Golf Society News
Friday 1st December saw the end of the events on our 2023 golfing calendar with the coming together for our annual Christmas dinner in the club.
Unfortunately, due to unfavourable weather we had to cancel our outing in Killiney Golf Club but 22 of us met for dinner in the club that evening.
We had a wonderful time with the group of us sitting around one table telling stories, jokes and singing songs until late into the night.
Peter Brennan was the worthy winner of The Golfer of the Year trophy with 154 points over 5 outings.
Well done Peter, you managed to stay ahead of the chasing pack made up of Tony Corcoran, Seamus O'Morain, John Westman and Peter Ryan.
