National Yacht Club Women on the Water Dinghy Race Day

National Yacht Club Women on the Water Dinghy Race Day

The National Yacht Club Women on the Water Dinghy Race Day took place in glorious sunshine in Dun Laoghaire harbour on Sunday August 17th. After a briefing ashore, the 21 competitors set about rigging the fleet of National Yacht Club fireflies, toppers and optimists, and heading out on the water.

 

Race Officer Ed Totterdell, set a triangular course with the start line just west of the Carlisle pier and the weather mark towards the bandstand, and ran a series of 14 races.

 

Crews swapped around and the competitors got to sail in several different classes. A few people who had said they would sail in a firefly and a topper but “definitely not an optimist”, ended up giving it a go and enjoying the experience. Others said they would be comfortable crewing but not helming or racing single handed, but after a few races they gained enough confidence to try a topper or an oppie, recording their first solo helming experience.

Cruising Adventure – Wherever the wind takes us!

Cruising Adventure – Wherever the wind takes us!

Our Cruising Group will set sail 13th - 15th September; “Wherever the wind takes us” long weekend cruise.

Due to the unpredictable winds we have been getting over the last couple of seasons, we are suggesting a final cruise of the season without actually specifying a destination.

We will simply look at the forecast a few days beforehand and agree a favourable destination.

Please complete the “Expression of Interest” if you wish to join us.
