We also run Dolphins and Sharks sessions on Friday evening during May and June, as well as numerous other family events such as the Corinthian Cup and Pirates Raid throughout the summer.

It is run by its members, for its members, encouraging sailing, racing, diving, training, water based activities and social events. There is Club racing every Tuesday evening and Sunday afternoon from April to September and on Sunday afternoon Icebreaker Series through the winter for dinghies. Members are also welcome to race with our sister club Royal Ulster on Thursday evenings. Members also potter about sailing at any time – particularly when rescue boats are on the water for racing. Regattas are held most Saturdays through the sailing season in Belfast Lough and a number of Open series are held further afield such as West Highland Week & Cork Week. Ballyholme hosts, and members participate in, numerous national and international championships throughout the year. Many varieties of dinghy, day boat and yachts are sailed, including Toppers, Lasers, Picos, Bays, Waverleys, Squibs, Multihulls, Sports boats and Cruisers.
