An Evening with Ian Moore, Navigator

Americas Cup and Volvo Ocean Race.

Carrickfergus Sailing Club

Saturday 9th May 2009 - 7.30pm

Ian Moore, member of Carrickfergus Sailing Club and son of the late John Moore and Wendy (Moore) Grant, is coming to give an illustrated lecture about his sailing experiences in the Louis Vuitton/Americas Cup and Volvo Ocean Race.

Currently navigator for the Irish team, Green Dragon, he began his competitive sailing in Carrickfergus before going to university in Southampton.  There he made the most of opportunities of big fleet, off shore and match racing.   Graduating from foredeck to navigation station broadened his horizons and he has sailed winning entries in major events all over the world, most recently on ‘Quantum’ the winner of last year’s TP52 Med Cup series.

After the lecture there will be a finger buffet and an opportunity to relax and chat with Ian.

There is a limit to the number that can be accommodated in the clubhouse so anyone interested in attending the lecture is advised to book by phoning Rory on 028 9335 5884, or email rory@carrickmarina.com.   Tickets are also available from the bar at the clubhouse, price £10.00
