21st Feb @ 12:00 – Royal Irish Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire
Celebrating Leadership, Legacy & the Spirit of Exploration
We are delighted to invite you to a very special Frères de la Côte Boucan Lunch at the Royal Irish Yacht Club, Dún Laoghaire, hosted by The Grand Frères, Enda O’Coineen, in honour of the legendary Sir Robin Knox-Johnston.
Held in partnership with and in support of Atlantic Youth Trust, this gathering will explore the exciting vision behind Atlantic Spirit of Shackleton 2026 – from voyage routes and programme structure to the many opportunities to get involved.
As part of the lunch programme, Sir Robin will share reflections from his time as President of the Sail Training Association, offering rare insights into:
– Leadership and governance
– Lessons learned (and challenges to avoid)
– Principles that continue to shape successful sailing and youth development programmes
This promises to be a unique coming together of leaders from sailing, exploration and education, celebrating legacy, learning, and the next generation of adventure at sea.
