Surfing the wave built under Nicole's coaching, the national YC is offering a series of 4 Saturday morning leading towards the DMYC Frosbites (starting November 5th).

There will be two dedicated groups:

The Developing sailing skills group will focus on growing confidence, progress the basics of sailing effectively on a dinghy (Balance, steering, trim) and grow a better understanding on how to use the controls effectively

The Get racing group will see a training programme aiming at growing racing ability specifically prepare the Frosbites. Sailing skills will certainly still be at the core of the sessions yet aiming at improving racing ability.

Dates are: Sept 23, Sept 30, Oct 21, Oct 28

Following from the successful establishment of the Sailors of The Dublin Bay Twentyones we plan on widening the opportunity for more people to experience the World’s Oldest One Design Cruiser / Racer class for themselves and with this in mind we are organising an open day on Sunday 17^th September, weather permitting.

The event is open to all and sundry, young and old alike regardless of sailing experience and offers the chance to check out if regular sailing on these beautiful boats may be of interest in the future. 

The format is simple – we offer 3 sailing slots during the day – 10.30, 12.30 and 3.00  for a brief orientation and sail in the bay.  With 4 boats available we can offer up to 12 participants per session, a chance to experience sailing a classic boat and hopefully from that grow both interest in the class and potential new crew members to participate in regular racing and other events.

A jot form booking form has been set up as per link below
