Open Event, this is a one day event open to all IDRA sailors (who have paid their class membership fee) It involves a gold and silver fleet system, which gives middle level sailors the ability to win in their fleet. Boats are swapped between races, so as to place a greater than normal emphasis on skill rather than on the boat

 

Walk on 24 March. All, including children, welcome.

Meet at Strand Road, Sandymount. There are several car parks between the road and the strand. Meet at the one closest to the Ringsend end (near the Martello Tower) at 2-00 pm.
