The successful revival of the Dublin Bay Twentyone fleet, under Fionán De Barra and Hal Sisk, continues apace with plans to set up a new organisation “Sailors of Dublin Bay Twentyones” (the Sailors) underway and for which membership is now open.

The new organisation’s primary purpose is to attract and manage racing crew rosters for the fleet and cover the annual running costs for the fleet’s 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 “Sailors of Dublin Bay Twentyones” come into play. The membership fee to join will cost €500 per person for the full season which will cover racing entrance fees, insurance, running and maintenance costs.
