Irish Sailing Youth National Championships 2022 – NYC Report & Gallery
The Irish Sailing Youth National Championships were hosted at the Ballyholme Yacht Club from 22nd to the 24th April in sunny but very mixed sailing conditions, with the third day in particular being very challenging. This event is special as it gives the young sailors the opportunity to see the various pathways they may take after the Optimist Fleet. On day 2 the Optimist and ILCA6 classes launched at the same time in very challenging conditions with both classes literally sailing on crests of waves as they sailed out into Belfast Lough.
The National Yacht Club has a vibrant and high achieving youth element to the Club which was in full force at the event.
National Yacht Club sailors participated in the ILCA4, ILCA 6, 29er and Optimist fleets and showed great endurance in their performances in all classes.
