Based on feedback from members, Howth Yacht Club is rolling out two new initiatives for the 2023 sailing season: the HYC Race School and HYC Crew Finder.
The Race School offers HYC members a chance to get certified and get racing, whether you’re new to the line or a seasoned sailing veteran.
If you have never raced, if you already crew on someone else’s boat, or even if you have your own boat, the Race School offers opportunities for all levels to join in training sessions and improve their skills.
The first step to get started is a free consultation with sailing development officer Matthew Cotter — sign up on the HYC website HERE.
The new Crew Finder page, meanwhile, connects those looking for a chance to crew with those seeking an extra pair of hands on board, all in a single, easy-to-use platform powered by RailMeets.

All Race School participants will also gain HYC Crew Finder certification which will make it easier to match individual crew to boats looking for crew.
