Supporting DBSC
Welcome to the 2022 Yearbook.
We’re looking forward to supporting
Dublin Bay Sailing Club for another
year. And what a year it’s shaping up
to be.
With restrictions behind us, there’s a
full programme of events, races and
regattas ready for the line up. At AIB
Private Banking we’re glad also to be
back in full support of our clients and
particularly, to contribute to the club
in its preparations for a return to a
full programme.
Let me take this opportunity to
extend our warmest regards to the
Commodore, the Committee and all
DBSC members.
As always we are ready to advise and
support all of you on the investment,
lending or retirement and future
planning needs you may have. That’s
enough of the selling, now on to the
sailing.
Enjoy!
