Early Bird Offer Extended for Irish Sailing Youth Nationals
With just over two weeks to go, preparations for the 2025 Waterman Tecsar Irish Sailing Youth Nationals are truly under way in the host club, The Royal St George Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire; A very warm welcome awaits the families and sailors in a club that has a wealth of experience in running world class sailing events.
Close to 130 sailors have now registered to date to compete across six dinghy classes, and while competitive racing is an important aspect of the event, there is also a large focus on the sailors socialising with their friends and family each day. It is a fantastic opportunity for sailors to meet fellow sailors from all over Ireland and build relationships in their early sailing careers which will last for many years to follow.
In addition, there will be a sailing debrief each evening after racing by one of the professional Irish Sailing coaching staff (relevant to a specific racecourse on each of the evenings). A coaching conference is organised for the Friday evening (25th) which will give an overview on how Irish Sailing hopes to support a coach development pathway. On Saturday evening (26th ) a talk will be delivered by Sean Evans, Irish Sailing High Performance Youth Development Manager, on how the Irish Sailing youth pathway is structured to support sailors who may be interested. These talks should be both informative and engaging for both the sailors and parents alike.
The Early bird entry rate has been extended to the 13th of April in order to accommodate a number of sailors who may still wish to be part of what promises to be a great regatta. Link to enter can be found here Irish Sailing Youth Nationals 2025 Entry From (FF).
The Early Bird rate for ILCA 4 & Topper is €155. For Optimist & ILCA 6 €195 and for 420 & 29er €295. Normal rates will apply thereafter with entries closing full on 16th April.
Should you have any queries, or questions please email Ronan Adams , Sailing Manager RStGYC Ronan Adams (sailingmanager@rsgyc.ie) or Stephen O Shaughnessy, Racing Manager Irish Sailing (stephen.oshaughnessy@sailing.ie )
We look forward to a great event that will showcase all that is good about youth dinghy sailing in Ireland in 2025.
