All members, family and friends are welcome to take part in our End of Summer members' Race taking place on Thursday 5th September from 1830.

Please note that due to the hosting of the Flying Fifteen Worlds and its opening ceremony from 1700 that day, the race will only be open to SB20s, J80s and Keelboats on moorings or in the marina.

Also, due to the event pontoons used during the Volvo Regatta and the F15 Worlds laid in front of the Clubhouse, the start and the Finish will be given from the DBSC Hut on the West Pier.

Exhilarating, challenging, breezy, competitive!

The Irish Flying Fifteen fleet had their last provincial event, the South Coast Championships, last weekend before the Subaru sponsored World Championships are hosted by the National Yacht Club at the end of this month. This time the host was the near neighbours of the NYC, the Royal St George Yacht Club and there was some debate as to whether the RStGYC had ever hosted a Flying Fifteen event before. From early in the week before there was speculation as to what might happen on the Saturday as there was such an adverse forecast and in other regatta reports on the Y&Y website, the sense that not much would happen was replicated. By Friday evening the forecast had moderated slightly but winds of mid-twenties gusting to over thirty were still showing up on the XCWeather chart and other web-based forecasts weren’t any more optimistic.

After members fundraising and a "Sports Capital" grant your club has acquired six Firefly dinghies to introduce team racing in the club. The NYC was to the fore in Team Racing many years ago, see the brass IYA medals on the wall in dining room by the fireplace.

The six boats, 3 blue and 3 orange will provide access for members for team racing, watch this space for information on our team racing programme.

Interested in taking part in the irish Sailing Pathfinder Women at the Helm Regatta on 17th & 18th August but you don't have a boat?

The NYC has 3 RS Ventures and 4 Wayfarers to charter (€70 for the event for members)
