Irish Youth Sailing National Champs Entry Opens

11th December 2019

The first time the 29er class will be joining the Laser Radial, Laser 4.7, 420, Topper and Optimists

Entry is now open for Irish Sailing’s Annual Youth National Championships, taking place 16-19 April 2020 and hosted by Howth Yacht Club in County Dublin.

As Afloat reported earlier, this year, for the first time, the 29er class will be joining the Laser Radial, Laser 4.7, 420, Topper and Optimists.

The Youth National Championships were started first as a means for Irish Sailing coaches to spot burgeoning young talent, and pick members for the Pathway Teams and further coaching. The event has now grown in size and purpose to be Ireland’s largest youth regatta with over 200 young sailors and their families attending each year.

As well as racing, the programme will include expert speakers who represent different aspects of the sport, the opportunity to learn more about the Irish Sailing Performance Pathway, meet the coaches, as well as gather in one place to have fun and socialise.
