ADULT DINGHY TRAINING AUTUMN 2025
At the National YC, We run Autumn coached training on Saturday mornings from 9.30 until approximately 12.00. Good atmosphere, enjoyment and learning are the main aims and often debrief happens back up in the club bar with a welcomed and deserved post sailing lunch.
The session is Open to ALL LEVELS of ability and usually run on ILCAs and RS Aeros... Other dinghies are welcomed to join as most drills happen on short courses promoting boat handling skills.
Club dinghies may be chartered (we have two ILCAs and a few Toppers) for members only.
As the number of coaches and the groupings (if any) directly depends on participation, it is important to get sailors commitment.

World Match Racing Tour – Accommodation Help
As some of you may know, we are hosting a stage on the World Match Racing Tour this September, and preparations are well underway. We are reaching out to ask for your help with one important part of the event: accommodation for the visiting teams.
The regatta runs from the 24th to the 28th of September, with a practice day on the 24th. Teams will be arriving on the 23rd or 24th, and most will leave either on the evening of the 28th or the 29th, depending on flights. Nearly all the teams have been in touch looking for recommendations, and many are struggling with the high cost of accommodation in Dublin.
We would be enormously grateful if any members could offer a place to stay for visiting sailors. This doesnât need to be anything glamorousâanything from a spare room, a space for a blow-up mattress, or even a berth on a boat in the marina would make a huge difference. The aim is to make this a positive and welcoming experience for the teams, which in turn will help ensure that the National Yacht Club remains a stop on the tour in the future.
If you are able to help, please let us know at your earliest convenience. Your support will go a long way toward making this event a success, and it will be very much appreciated by both the club and the visiting teams.
Please contact Oisin Cullen omc2607@gmail.com if you can office any assistance.
