NYC Nippers Programme 2023
The Junior Committee is delighted to announce that we will be running our very popular Nippers course in May and June 2023, starting on Wednesday 10th May.
The Nippers course is based on the ISAâs Cara na Mara programme. The programme designed for young children aged 6-10 who have not yet had any, or very little, experience sailing. The programme is focused on building confidence on the water and teaching the basics of water safety. The emphasis is on fun!
The NYC will run 6 sessions on Wednesdays (Dates May 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st and June 7th, 14th). The session starts with registration at 5.30 and finishes at 7.30pm (on water by 6pm).

Easter Fun For National YC juniors
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.
