The 16 invitees for next month's All Ireland Sailing Championships have been announced for the National Yacht Club hosted event.

Racing over October 5th & 6th, seven dinghy and nine keelboat helms will race in Flying Fifteen keelboats for the coveted ISA 'Champion of Champions title.

There are no current Tokyo Olympic trialists and only one helmswoman among the line-up released by the national governing body today.

Although present last year, absent from the 2019 line up is the 1720, IDRA 14 and Dragon classes.

Other Clinker classes do fare well, however, with representation from Mermaids, Shannon One Designs and Water Wags all scheduled to compete at Dun Laoghaire.
