Alf Delany (16 May 1911 - 13 December 2006) was an Irish sailor. He grew up in the town of Longford and spent many of his summers at Tarmonbarry, County Roscommon where the family lived on a houseboat, the 'La Vague II'. He learned how to sail from his father, Dr. Vincent S. Delany, and from a family employee Michael Donlon. Much of his early training took place on the Delany family Lough Erne, Fairy 'Oberon'.[1] He competed at the 1948 Summer Olympics at Torquay in the Swallow class, sailing with Hugh Allen in a boat called 'Cloud'. He competed at the 1952 Summer Olympics at Helsinki, Finland in the Finn singlehanded Class in a boat provided by the Olympic Regatta organisers.[2] [3]
