Expression of interest: becoming a keelboat instructor
With the growing interest in match racing on our 4 Eliotts and learning the skills necessary to sail successfully on our J80s, the club has recognised we need a few qualified keelboat instructors in order to introduce and develop sailors through the Irish Sailing small boat sailing scheme.
If interested in becoming a keelboat instructor, you must already hold a valid instructor certification and go through the process.
Doing this will also re-validate any existing SBSS instructor qualifications (including Senior Instructor) which might be useful for anyone coming near the end of their validity.:
- pre-entry assessment day
- 2 days conversion course
- we are also looking at an added day to obtain the advanced instructor certificate for suitable candidates.

Irish Ruffian 23s Win Golden Jubilee International Inter-Port in Hong Kong
Ann Kirwan, former Commodore of Dublin Bay Sailing Club and a longtime NYC enthusiastic Ruffian 23 sailor captures the flavour for us with her report of this remarkable event on the other side of the world:
HONG KONG HOSTS FINAL SAILING EVENT OF RUFFIAN 23 GOLDEN JUBILEE
A team of 20 Irish Ruffian sailors travelled to Hong Kong on Wednesday, October 18th, to compete in the Golden Jubilee Ruffian Inter-Port Regatta, the 7th Interport Challenge. The first two took place in the early â90s before the event was revived in 2009, when the Irish Ruffians were invited to Hong Kong. Since then, the event has been held every three years in alternate locations, but the 2021 visit to Hong Kong was delayed by two years due to Covid. However, this turned out to be very fortuitous, as 2023 is the 50th anniversary year of the Ruffian fleet.
