Our Sailors Take On Mighty Challenges Across the World

Our Sailors Take On Mighty Challenges Across the World

This month, National Yacht Club members are making waves on the global stage. From the Clipper Round the World Race to the Mini Transat and La Solitaire du Figaro, our sailors are proudly representing the club.

Damian Payne (@teampowerofseattlesports ) and Brian Uniacke (@team.tongyeong.clipperrace ) have set sail on the first leg of the Clipper Round the World Race.

This Sunday, Tom Dolan (@tomdolanskipper ) begins his defence of the La Solitaire du Figaro title.

Later this month, Mark O’Connor (@marksmini650 ) will embark on his solo Mini Transat adventure.

Everyone at the National Yacht Club wishes them fair winds, safe passage, and every success.
Please give them a follow and show your support as they take on these incredible challenges!

Summer Sailing Courses Have Set Sail!

Summer Sailing Courses Have Set Sail!

Course 1 of our summer programme kicked off on Tuesday with lots of enthusiastic junior sailors taking to the water in their Optimists, Toppers, and Fevas.

It’s been a fantastic start, with participants learning new skills and honing old ones under the summer sun.

Meanwhile, our Big Boat Sailing Course has seen the J80s out in full force, cruising around the bay daily.

Today, the group is heading down to Killiney Bay for an exciting day sail — complete with a refreshing swim near Vico!

With plenty more fun and adventure planned each week, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable summer.

If your sailor is keen to get out on the water, don’t miss the chance — make sure to sign them up!
