Biographical Data:

St Barbara V is owned and operated by the Royal Artillery Yacht Club. Launched in 2000, she is the third Rustler 42’, and the first built for sail training purposes. She is the Club’s 5th Flagship and is the largest yacht owned by UK Service Clubs. The club has existed for 74 years for the benefit of its members and the Royal Artillery.

The club uses St Barbara to develop young (and old!) soldiers and officers through the adventurous activity of Offshore Sailing.

St Barbara spent last winter in the Canary Islands conducting 7 adventurous training periods, with a particularly demanding return leg to the UK in February. She is spending most of the summer season in UK waters, except for her participation in the Tall Ships’ Race, and current plans see her spending next winter in the Mediterranean. The Club hope to send her to the Caribbean in 2007, as part of our 75th Anniversary celebrations.

The Club run a wide range of activities in several disciplines, including: offshore, dinghy and windsurfing.

After two years of preparations involving an estimated 13,760 hours of voluntary effort, Waterford successfully hosted The Tall Ships Races 2011 from June 30-July 3.
It’s estimated that 500,000 people enjoyed the spectacle in the city and along the Suir Estuary. To all those individuals and organisations that made this huge international event possible and to the people of Waterford who embraced the occasion brilliantly – thank you. To those who visited Waterford, we look forward to welcoming you back soon and invite you to visit www.discoverwaterfordcity.ie to keep up-to-date on what’s happening in Ireland’s oldest city. To the sail training family at the heart of The Tall Ships Races, we look forward to your return!

Here we showcase a small selection of Dylan Vaughan’s photography from four magical days.
