About

Join County Antrim Yacht Club (CAYC) for their annual Water Festival Fundraiser in Whitehead, support of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).  This exciting day of fun and games on the water is open to all, with a variety of activities designed for the whole community to enjoy. Pre-registration for events is essential.

Whitehead Swimming Club will also be hosting their traditional swim across the bay, adding to the excitement of the event.  The RNLI local branch will also have a stall offering lifejacket safety checks and expert advice on water safety.

Participants can take part in Kayak and Paddleboard races for both children and adults, or enjoy Dinghy Taster Sessions, with all entry fees going towards RNLI funds.  There will be a BBQ on the go all afternoon, outside refreshments and music too.
