The early bird entry for the Waterman Kelly Irish Sailing Youth Nationals 2024 is closing later this week at midnight on Friday 15 March.

This year’s event will be hosted by the the Royal Cork Yacht Club in Crosshaven from Thursday 4 to Sunday 7 April.

The Youth Nationals is the premier event for Irish youth sailors in the Optimist, Topper, 420, 29er, ILCA 4 and ILCA 6 classes, and attracts sailors aged in their early to late teens.

While the event is open to all, it is expected that all competitors entering will be competent in sailing in a sustained fresh breeze and will have experienced competing in regional or national events for their chosen dinghy class within the last nine months.

The Irish Sailing Youth National Championships 2024 may form part of the selection trials for the 2024 World Sailing Youth Worlds, national squads, IODAI team selection and are an indicator, among other events, for the Irish Sailing Academy.

Places are limited and so all competitors are encouraged to enter early. All relevant details including Notice of Race, accommodation and lunch orders can be found on the Royal Cork website.
