Sail a 29er in 2019!

2018 marked the inaugural year of the Irish 29er class association and saw the fleet grown rapidly to 21 boats in just over a year. With a network of coaches and training in place, we have created a very successful class with a calendar of events at National level. Internationally, many of our sailors have now reached a level where they are competing or have plans to compete outside Ireland in 2019.

The recent influx of boats has also created a situation where some of existing partnerships have decided to go their own way, each being a boat owner. We are now actively looking for sailors who would like to join an experienced 29er sailor (and boat owner!) to train and partake in events in 2019. This is a fantastic opportunity for sailors to get involved in the class and with an experienced partner, the learning curve will be so much faster. If you are interested, or want to find out more about the class, please email Jarlath O’leary at chair@irl29er.com.
You can also keep in touch by signing up for email updates on the front page of our web site or keep updated by following our Facebook page, Ireland 29er.

Wishing everyone a happy new year and hoping to see lots more boats on the water in 2019!
