Malahide Yacht Club is inviting entries for the March Hare Regatta on Saturday, March 23rd, 2024. 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 2024 season, this regatta has something for everyone", says Noel Davidson, Rear Commodore at Malahide Yacht Club.

The ILCA/Laser class is one of the most popular sailing classes in the world, and the March Hare Regatta offers an opportunity for ILCA 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 March Hare 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 which has now become an annual event in the MYC calendar with a new title; ’March Hare Regatta’.

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

The March Hare 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.
