Summer Courses 2024 – REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
The Junior Committee is happy to announce that the Summer Courses 2024 are now open for booking for all NYC members.
The booking will remain open until midnight on Monday 22 May 2024.
As previously advertised, we will be running the full suite of IS levels and are additionally offering some custom courses. Places will be allocated on a first-come/first-served basis. We intend to offer all courses published, but this will depend on demand and minimum numbers per course.
If you are unsure which course is right for your young sailor, you can check the ISA website for a description of the standard courses by clicking here: Dinghy, Keelboat & Catamaran Sailing (List of courses under the Course Syllabi heading)
Feedback from parents has told us that demand for specific courses is hard to predict running into the summer. For this reason, we have decided that we will not cap the number of places per course at the point of booking. This will allow us to respond more flexibly to your needs and scale-up to meet demand where possible.
What this means for you is: If there has not been sufficient interest in a course you have booked or if a course has been oversubscribed, we will be in touch before 15 May 2024 (within 1 week of booking closing) to offer you an alternative course or a full refund.

The Nippers course is based on the ISA’s Cara na Mara programme. The programme designed for young children aged 6-10 who have not yet had any, or little, experience sailing. The programme is focused on building confidence on the water and teaching the basics of water safety. The emphasis is on fun and safety!
The NYC will run 6 sessions on Wednesdays (Dates May 8, 15, 22, 29 and June 5, 12). The session starts with registration at 5.30 and finishes at 7.30pm.

Adult Pre-Summer 2024 Laser & RS Aero Coaching Sessions – Sunday Mornings
Welcome back to the NYC summer platform! Following demand in a growing group of sailors and to launch the summer racing season, the first coaching series is proposed. The coaching is open to all ILCA rigs and all Aero rigs. It is aiming at sailors wishing to progress their skills in a race environment (speed, rules, starts, mark rounding, tactical decisions...). The sessions are usually but not exclusively sailed inside the harbour on short and intense drills allowing a large variability of experience to enjoy the training. These sessions can be complemented by one on one training. Contact Thomas at headcoach@nyc.ie for details.
It will be delivered by experienced coaches starting this Sunday with Ellie Cunnane (former Academy laser sailors). The programme is open to all Waterfront club sailors and sessions will start at 9.30 and are expected to be finished by 12.30 with a short debrief before enjoying the traditional club lunch (and enjoying the lunch whilst discussing the outcomes of the morning afloat).
28-04 - coach Ellie Cunnane
12-05 - coach TBA
19-05 - coach Thomas Chaix
02-06 - coach Thomas Chaix
Cost of the programme: 100EUR/sailor - A "by session" option is possible at 30EUR/sailor
