The Irish J109 fleet is gearing up for an action-packed season on Dublin Bay with an early season IRC optimisation talk this month.
As Afloat reported previously, Dun Laoghaire's Royal Irish Yacht Club will host the ICRA Nationals and Key Yachting's Irish J-Cup, which incorporates the European Championships this August and September, featuring a strong J109 involvement.
Irish J109 class captain Cian Lynch has organised a J109-specific IRC optimization talk to be held at the Royal St George Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire Harbour, as well as via Zoom. The event is set to take place on February 27th and will feature North Sails expert Maurice Prof O'Connell and IRC Measurer Brian Matthews as key speakers.
Lynch is not alone in his efforts to prepare the fleet for the upcoming event. The 2024 J109 committee includes Redmond Power, Sheena Bowers, Richard Goodbody, and Barry Cunningham, all of whom are working hard to ensure that the Irish fleet is ready to compete at the highest level.
