#opti – Beijing Olympian Ciara Peelo, a former Optimist sailor, is organising a reunion of Irish Optimist dinghy sailors young and old next month (October 12) at Malahide Yacht Club in North Dublin.
The idea is to get as many people from the 70s, 80s, 90s back together and catch up. This is aimed at anyone and everyone who sailed optimists during this time. 'As we were all quite young then and parents were a very important part of our Optimist sailing we are aware that many of our parents made great friends during our time sailing and we inviting any parents along too' says Peelo.
Malahide Yacht Club at St. James Terrace has undergone a major overhaul in the last couple of years and there is now a brand new clubhouse in the Broadmeadows and the club has offered the optimist gathering the use of the club Topaz dinghies in order to run a small regatta on the Saturday.
There will be a small cost of €20 to cover food on the night.
