Malahide Yacht Club Invites Entries for March 25th, St. Patrick's Regatta

Malahide Yacht Club invites entries for the St. Patrick's Regatta on Saturday, March 25th, 2023. This open event will feature ILCA/Laser, Optimist, and PY class races on the beautiful Broadmeadows Estuary.

"Sailors of all ages are welcome to participate in this event, regardless of their experience level. Whether you're a seasoned Laser sailor looking for a challenge or a young sailor ready to kick off their 2023 season, this regatta has something for everyone", says Noel Davidson, Dinghy Sailing Secretary at Malahide Yacht Club.

The ILCA/Laser class is one of the most popular sailing classes in the world, and the St. Patrick's Regatta offers an opportunity for Laser sailors to test their skills against others in their class.

The Optimist class is perfect for young sailors just getting started with their sailing journey, and the PY class provides an option for sailors who prefer to sail in boats with handicap ratings.

"We're thrilled to host the St. Patrick's Regatta at Malahide Yacht Club this year," Davidson told Afloat, "We're looking forward again to welcoming sailors for a fun-filled day of racing and celebration on the water after a hugely successful inaugural event last year".

"We have pushed the Regatta back from the traditional weekend to not clash with Rugby, Mother's Day and other events,” he said.

The St. Patrick's Regatta promises to be an exciting day of sailing, with plenty of thrilling action on the water. Davidson said that participants can register now to secure their spot in the race and prepare for a day of sailing, fun, and camaraderie.
