The Optimist fleet captains are hosting an information evening for Junior Sailors and their parents on Wednesday May 11th at 7pm in the JB Room.
There will be information on coaching, racing, national and International events, summer courses and the pathway options for junior sailors.

The Irish Sailing Youth National Championships were hosted at the Ballyholme Yacht Club from 22nd to the 24th April in sunny but very mixed sailing conditions, with the third day in particular being very challenging. This event is special as it gives the young sailors the opportunity to see the various pathways they may take after the Optimist Fleet. On day 2 the Optimist and ILCA6 classes launched at the same time in very challenging conditions with both classes literally sailing on crests of waves as they sailed out into Belfast Lough.
The National Yacht Club has a vibrant and high achieving youth element to the Club which was in full force at the event.
National Yacht Club sailors participated in the ILCA4, ILCA 6, 29er and Optimist fleets and showed great endurance in their performances in all classes.
Dates: Sundays May 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th
Costs: €80 per sailor for four sessions
Afternoon 1.30pm – 4.30pm
