NYC Optimists take on the Connacht Championships

NYC Optimists take on the Connacht Championships

What a weekend for our NYC Optimists at the Connacht Championships in Galway Bay Sailing Club! With sailors competing across the Senior, Junior, Regatta Racing and Regatta Coached fleets, there was plenty of NYC spirit out on the water, with some brilliant racing, tough conditions and great team spirit.

 

Senior Fleet

 

Our Senior sailors Alanna Whelan and Catherine Walsh took on a very competitive fleet and gave it everything over the weekend.

 

Congratulations to Alanna Whelan on her fantastic 3rd place in the Senior Bronze fleet. Alanna also put together a really solid series, with some particularly strong racing towards the end of the championship, including 17th and 18th place finishes.

 

Catherine Walsh also had a great weekend of racing, finishing 25th overall. She got off to a strong start with an excellent 21st place in Race 1, followed by another good 24th in Race 3, showing great consistency and determination across the six races.

 

Well done Alanna and Catherine, great sailing and great perseverance!

 

Junior Fleet

 

Our Junior sailors faced a tough 54-boat fleet and there was plenty of fighting spirit on display.

 

Freddy Hofler finished a strong 27th overall, including a brilliant 13th place in Race 2 and 16th in Race 4.

 

Gabrielle Walsh also put together a great series, with a couple of really solid 28th-place finishes.

 

Charles Richard had a particularly strong 24th place in Race 5 — a great result in a big and competitive fleet.

 

And a special mention to Dylan Fahy, competing in only his second Junior fleet event. Dylan showed great resilience throughout the weekend and kept battling through the tough races, well done, Dylan!

 

A massive well done to Freddy, Gabrielle, Charles and Dylan for getting stuck in and representing NYC so well.

 

Regatta Racing

 

A fantastic performance from Cormac Whelan in the Regatta Racing fleet, finishing an excellent 8th overall.

 

Cormac had a brilliant 4th place in Race 2 and finished strongly with an 8th in the final race. A great result and some seriously good racing, well sailed, Cormac!

 

Regatta Coached

 

And what a weekend for Timothee Richard in the Regatta Coached fleet! 

His first event this year! 

 

Timothee finished an outstanding 3rd overall, with a fantastic run of 3rd, 4th, 3rd and 3rd in his four counting races. Super consistent sailing and a brilliant result!

 

Huge congratulations, Timothee , what a performance!

 

One big NYC team

 

A huge congratulations to Alanna, Catherine, Freddy, Gabrielle, Charles, Dylan, Cormac and Timothee.

 

Some great results, plenty of hard-fought racing and lots of determination across the fleets. You all did the NYC proud!

Adult Dinghy Training

Adult Dinghy Training

After seeing the cream of the cream of ILCA sailors amazing skills around Dublin bay, it is almost time to get back to our own sailing and progressing skills in the NYC Autumn training. Lets make the best of the Autumn and restart our own program on September 19th. Sessions will run each saturday morning from 9.30 till 12.30 before enjoying the famous NYC brunch. You can sign up by the session on the club Smart club app. As per previous years, non members are welcomed to join the training and can sign up via the non member CLICK HERE

 

The sessions are geared up towards ILCAs and Aeros but other dinghies are welcome to contact Thomas at headcoach@nyc.ie to check suitability. some of the sessions will certainly manage other types of dinghies.

 

All levels are very welcomed, however early sign up will allow us to gauge the need for one or several coaches on the day. The majority but not all the sessions will be conducted inside the harbour and on short courses keep the group tight and giving a chance to the coach(es) to give effective feedback despite teh different classes in action.

Sailors will be very welcomed to handover feedback themself so coaches can adjust their session and input to the need of the sailors.

 

And dont forget that the best way to test your progress is to take part in the amazing interclub sailing on offer with the DMYC frobites and the INSS Aero super series.

 

Looking forward to yet another great Autumn!
