Do you have a teenager who would like to try sailing but doesn’t want to be in a group of 7-8 year olds? We have the perfect course for you!
We have a course for teenagers this summer C1 6th- 16th June and C3 10th – 21st July. No boat required and no previous sailing experience necessary.
You will be sailing with other beginner sailors of a similar age and using the club boats so 3-4 people in each boat. It is a great introduction to the sailing course in a fun and social environment and will help build confidence to helm and crew in boats.
Course 3 is available to full and family members only but C1 is open to potential members also so bring a friend!. Here is the link to book;

At the recent Prize Giving of the Optimist Munsters , team gear was presented to the International Development Poland Team. Hugh O’Connor and Zoe Hall of the NYC are on the team who are travelling to Dziwnow, Poland at the end of the month to compete in the Energa Cup. Also on the team are Patrick Bruen RCYC, Jamie Venner RCYC, Jacques Murphy RStGYC, Ben Graf LRYC and Grace Fahy RStGYC/LDYC.

There was a good gathering of Topper sailors at Wicklow SC, Sunday 14th May, with an overall 36 sailors taking part: 28 off 5.3 Rig and 8 off 4.2 Rig sailors. Four races were held in very blustery conditions, squally, sunny bright, wet – ranging from F1 to F4 – making for tough conditions all round, particularly with a good tidal flow across the course.
NYC sailors were well represented in the Main Fleet top five. Leah Rickard finished 2nd place overall in Senior Gold Fleet and 1st girl. Hugh Turvey finished overall 3rd place in Senior Gold Fleet. Luke Turvey finished overall 2nd place in Junior Gold Fleet. Sam Ledoux finished overall 4th place in Junior Gold Fleet.
