Welcome to Ringhaddy Cruising Club
Ringhaddy Sound is located on Strangford Loughs western shore to the west of Islandmore, on the northeast coast of N Ireland. It is a beautiful and popular mooring ground with some club visitor Moorings and pontoons.
The Sound offers complete protection from all conditions. However wind against tide in a strong northerly, and to a lesser extent southerly, may be a little uncomfortable. The enclosed stretch of water provides sheltered sailing in all weather, all tides and has ample marks to make daylight navigation straightforward.
Ringhaddy Sound provides a naturally-occurring, deep-water anchorage that is well sheltered by some of the many islands that festoon the Lough. Not surprisingly, the original Gaelic name of the lough, Lough Cuan, means ‘sheltered haven’.
Visitors to RCC are welcome to use the pontoons where there are pre-paid card operated electricity pedestals and a fresh water supply. Please advise us of intended use via the contact form or by contacting the Hon. Secretary.
