When the weather plays ball, the kids enjoy sailing!
The two weeks of the Easter break may have been cold and split by the last (we hope) storm of the season, they certainly deliver some great sailing for our juniors starting with a week of home open based clinics and courses and concluding with the awaited Irish Sailing Youth Nationals where our top sailors battled for the 6 nationals titles on offer.

Dear all,
This summer we are anticipating that there may be more demand than space available for parking of members boats at the Club.
This is an interesting challenge for us all and on the positive side is an indication of the great health and enthusiasm of the Club membership. All of us need to work together to help manage this issue in a manner that respects the many diverse activity groups within the Club.
All members wishing to park a boat (or more than one) on the Club platform for the summer should immediately carefully read the Platform Parking Request guidelines and procedure that are being implemented to manage the Club facilities this season.
THE PLATFORM WILL REOPEN FOR PARKING FROM SATURDAY 22nd APRIL - Please do not bring any boat back on the platform prior to this date

Carlow sailor and Olympian Finn Lynch won the prestigious Irish Sailing Sailor of the Year for the second year in a row,

and Laura for her wins at Cowes Week, Women at the Helm
and her representation of Ireland overseas.
The successful revival of the Dublin Bay Twentyone fleet, under FionĂĄn De Barra and Hal Sisk, continues apace with plans to set up a new organisation âSailors of Dublin Bay Twentyonesâ (the Sailors) underway and for which membership is now open.
The new organisationâs primary purpose is to attract and manage racing crew rosters for the fleet and cover the annual running costs for the fleetâs racing plans for the 2023 season and beyond.
The fleet is owned by the Dublin Bay 21-Footer Class Association and all restoration costs are, and will continue to be met by the association. However, the annual running costs are not sustainable for the Association in the long term, and this is where the âSailors of Dublin Bay Twentyonesâ come into play. The membership fee to join will cost âŹ500 per person for the full season which will cover racing entrance fees, insurance, running and maintenance costs.
