At a recent launch of the partnership Commodore Ronan Beirne commented:
"The National Yacht Club is delighted to partner with Subaru as the club's "Vehicle partner" and for the Flying Fifteen World Championships to take place in September 2019. Subaru is a quality brand and to endorse the National Yacht Club as "Vehicle partner" and for the Flying Fifteen world championship hosted by the Club allows us to share the Subaru brand definition of "confidence in motion" as our members enjoy sailing and as we prepare for the only World sailing Championships to take place in Irish waters in 2019"

Dun Laoghaire Youth Laser Coaching Programme; Autumn/Winter 2018
The Dun Laoghaire Youth Laser training program will be run as a collaboration between RSGYC and NYC.
Mid-Term Laser Clinic 29th October â 2nd November
To Register, Please Click Here
We are fortunate to have two excellent local coaches head up the program: Conor OâBeirne will be running the 4.7âs and we have Nicole Hemeryck on the Radials. We intend grouping sailors to maintain a coach:sailor ratio of around 6 and expect to have around 3 groups in the 4.7âs and potentially 2 in the radials.
The program is designed for sailors who, at minimum, have competed in regional events (in any boat) and intend to participate in the regional laser circuit in 2019. The program will be managed by our coaches and they will be the first point of contact. The overall philosophy of the group is that it is sailor driven and not parent driven.
The program is open to all full and cadet members of either RIYC, RSGYC or NYC with boat parking paid.
