A print of an acrylic marine painting of sailboats berthed in the tranquil water of the Royal Irish Yacht Club in the Dun Laoghaire Marina, Dublin.
The club was founded in 1831. In the yacht club's constitution, it distinguished itself from other yacht clubs by commanding boat owners to furnish the club's commodore with information about coastal areas and any encountered deep-sea fisheries during their voyages.
This requirement highlighted the club's commitment to knowledge sharing among its members.
In 1846, a significant milestone occurred when the club was granted permission by Queen Victoria to use the Royal prefix, signifying royal recognition.
Following this recognition the club undertook the construction of a new clubhouse in 1851.
Despite the Republic of Ireland's separation from the United Kingdom, the Royal Irish Yacht Club made the decision to retain the Royal title.
