Have You Booked Your Seat? Mark O’Connor – Mini Transat Speaker Supper & Fundraiser

Have You Booked Your Seat? Mark O’Connor – Mini Transat Speaker Supper & Fundraiser

The National Yacht Club is proud to host NYC Member Mark O'Connor for an insightful presentation on the upcoming Mini Transat, "Race for Orbis," followed by a special fundraising dinner.

Wednesday 14th May @ 19.30pm

At 26 Years old, Mark is the skipper and founder of MOC Ocean racing. He graduated with a Masters of Electronic & Computer Engineering from University College Dublin, and has always showed a passion for sports and the sea. He moved to France in 2023 to realise his dream of racing across the Atlantic Ocean solo as part of the ‘Mini Transat’ race in 2025.

Since moving to “Sailing Valley”, he has gained over 10,000 kilometres (5,000 Nm) with the Mini 6.50 class and immersed himself in the offshore sailing industry. This has allowed him to gain invaluable experience. He precipitated in the ‘Monnoyeur Duo For a Job’ 2024 VendĂ©e Globe Campaign, preparing their IMOCA for the round the world race.

Most importantly Mark is passionate about his project and determined to make his dream a reality.

After 2 years of hard work, he has now qualified for the 2025 edition of the Mini transat!

Mark has now partnered with Orbis Ireland to launch the campaign “Race for Orbis”

Orbis Ireland, an independent affiliate of Orbis, has set an ambitious goal: to eliminate avoidable blindness in Ethiopia. Focusing on a region of over 4.5 million people—where the prevalence of blinding diseases like trachoma is among the highest globally—Orbis Ireland is tackling the three leading causes of avoidable blindness: trachoma, cataracts, and refractive error. Through a combination of hands-on medical training, telemedicine, and partnerships with local health systems, Orbis builds sustainable eye care programs that put treatment within reach for all.

You can donate to Marks charity GoFundMe here, donations will also be taken on the night.

Join us for an evening of adventure, inspiration, and support for a great cause.

DCU 24hr Sail For Hannah Leonard

DCU 24hr Sail For Hannah Leonard

NYC were delighted to support the DCU SurfNSail Club 24 hour sailing challenge fundraiser on Friday last to support and raise funds for Hannah, a DCU alumna, in a way that reflected endurance and resilience values she demonstrates every single day as she fights for every tiny little movement, every little improvement. Reflecting the challenges Hannah faces, this event was not easy. The team of students, alumni, and friends of Hannah, faced unpredictable weather, strong winds, and more than a few moments where they thought they might have to call it off. But they pulled through, sailing non-stop in shifts through the night, keeping the boat moving and spirits high (most of the time!).

So far, they have raised almost €5,000 towards the costs of care and rehabilitation for Hannah. Please help them over the €5,000 by donating on

Thanks to all at NYC who helped with the event, particularly club coach Ellie Cunnane, and especially to Tim Ryan at Dun Laoghaire Harbour who provided tower lights on the Carlisle Pier without which the event might not have been possible.

Don’t forget — we’re open for dining Tuesday to Sunday!
