As you know, the National Yacht Club is co-hosting the Laser 4.7 Youth World Championships this week, with the final day of racing on Saturday August 14th.

There will be 112 Laser’s coming ashore on the slip in the afternoon, most likely in the period 15:00 – 17:00 hrs.  This is a big logistical exercise for the Club, and the Laser’s will have priority during this period.  Any SB20, Flying 15, dinghy, or others coming ashore may experience delays.

Please show forbearance and comply with any instructions from the RIB or shore team who will be controlling access to the pond inside the Club pontoon.

The 21’s will berth at the NYC at c 1800hrs Friday 30^th when there will be a short welcome gathering. With Covid-19 restrictions we are limited to a strict 200 persons on the platform. Access to NYC card holding members and invited guests only. We look forward to the return of the historic Dublin Bay 21 Foot class that have been such a part of our club’s heritage.

The National Yacht Club Junior Section hosted their annual Junior Inter-club Regatta on Wednesday 14th July, sponsored by Davy. We had a beautiful sunny day with perfect wind for racing. There were 90 boats entered, with 109 sailors participating between the Harbour Fleet and the Main Fleet.

Mairéad Ní Chúlahan ran two fantastic trapezoid races for the Main Fleet of 50 boats in Scottsman’s Bay, while Ken Dumpleton ran three tremendous races for the 40 boat Harbour Fleet! We are extremely grateful to all of the volunteers that helped throughout the day, and especially Davy for their tremendous support. 

The National Yacht Club was delighted to host this regatta for its own sailors, as well as sailors from Bray Sailing Club, the DMYC, the RStGYC, and the RIYC. It was amazing seeing such excitement amongst the sailors from each club. The Regatta finished off with a prize giving, followed by a Teddy’s Ice Cream for all involved!

There is a fantastic gallery of pictures here

The Junior Section is looking forward to hosting our next Junior Regatta next summer.

Increasing the visibility of women in sport is key. Over 600 clubs across Ireland have signed up and the NYC is thrilled to celebrate the longstanding achievements of its women members and to encourage more women to get involved in sailing at all levels.
