Irish Sailing Pathfinder Women at the Helm Regatta – 17th & 18th August
The National Yacht Club are delighted to host the first Irish Sailing Pathfinder Women at the Helm regatta, taking place on 17 & 18 August. Around the country, women have been racing against each other for decades but this is the first time a regatta will be held at a national level. The Irish Sailing Pathfinder Women at the Helm regatta is an opportunity for women to set a new goal and encourage a move from shore to boat, crew to helm or club event to regional event. Female helms currently stand out - letâs change that and encourage women to take the helm.
You can hear more about the event in the promo video here: https://youtu.be/j6GfeXA1hWQ, or on the Irish Sailing website here: https://www.sailing.ie/Events/Irish-Sailing-Pathfinder-Women-at-the-Helm
Prize giving photos of the NYC Davyâs Junior Regatta 2019
The NYC Davy Junior Regatta was held last week with blue skies, good winds and over 120 participants. After racing, there was fun atmosphere as junior sailors from across the clubs gathered to enjoy snacks including the ever popular Teddy's ice cream - which was a hit with sailors and instructors alike!
The celebrations continued into the night as the juniors sailors held a disco in the JB Room.
Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out and Davy for kindly supporting the event.
