The National Yacht Club is delighted to announce that its planned hosting of the Irish Sailing Women at the Helm National Regatta will go ahead as scheduled on 29 & 30 August.   In a season where so many sailing events have had to be cancelled, the Club is particularly pleased to host this prestigious event and would encourage as many members as possible to participate to make this a truly memorable event. 

The event organisers are planning for a safe social and sailing environment and working within the Irish Sailing and Government guidelines to ensure the safety of all participants and volunteers, as well as the local community.  The success of last year’s inaugural event in the NYC shows what a great opportunity the Regatta is to showcase the strength and leadership of women in sport and their ability to adapt in a changing environment.

Dear Members,

We are all well aware of the restrictions imposed by the 'new normal' on our boating activities. However, while we await clarification on the lifting of restrictions in upcoming phases, there are already many compliant boating activities that can take place out of your Club!

Indeed, the NYC is well equipped to provide fun & safe boating activities for all age groups and interests ranging from family match racing on our Elliotts to Kayak outings or cruises in (safe and distant) company!

In order for us to best plan, prepare and 'gear up' for family oriented activities this season, we invite members to fill this quick online survey which will help us deliver the best possible services at the most appropriate times.

The 2023 SB20 World Championships will be hosted in Ireland by the Club.
The successful bid for the event, chaired by Justin Burke, will see the World Championships return to the Club in September 2023, 15 years after the inaugural world championships were sailed here in 2008.

The plan for 2023 is to achieve the largest ever number of nations attending an SB20 World Championships, according to SB20 Irish President John Malone.

Over the last six weeks, there have been a number of online events organised by the NYC Women on the Water. Starting  with a Zoom Cocktail party which was enjoyed by over 16 members, all with a variety of cocktails and some interesting cactus shaped cocktail...

Since the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) the situation has quickly evolved, and now we are realising the global perspective of the pandemic. Over the last few weeks there has been a lot of communication and information shared within the Irish sailing community, and I would like to thank all Irish Sailing members for your positive response to restrictions as they were imposed with ever-increasing severity week by week. It is critical however that our clubs are ready to open their doors for sailing as soon as restrictions start to be lifted, and in order for them to be able to do that they need your support.
