Kinsale Yacht Club has launched its Under 25 Team’s J24 and named it ‘Kinsailor.’
The boat is the last J24 to have been built by Jeremy Rogers, who also built Contessas, on the Isle of Wight.
“At 31 years old she is in fine condition. When she emerged from the mould it went to Slovenia. She will give our Under 25 Team great racing here in the club and at events in other clubs,” said Dave O’Sullivan, the former club Commodore, who led the project to acquire the boat.
Members of the Under 25 team are looking forward to club racing next month and have a list of events planned for the season.
I was at the launch and naming ceremony at the club where I spoke to Under 25 Team members for this week’s Podcast, which you can hear here.
