9th August 2013
First Keelboat Regatta for Greystones Harbour Marina

#greystonesharbourmarina – In a first for the dinghy club in Wicklow, Greystones Sailing Club and the newly opened Greystones Harbour Marina has made moves to introduce keelboat racing to the area this season and has announced the inaugural Greystones Cruiser Regatta for September 1.

The new town marina opened at Easter and some of the first boats to arrive was a cruise in company from Howth

As Afloat.ie reported in March, the club was quick to identify the new opportunity presented by the marina. 

A marina berth on the Saturday for the keelboat regatta is included as part of the entry fee.

The regatta will include:
Sailing club reception on Saturday evening
Marina reception post-racing on Sunday
Early prize giving at 3.30pm
3 classes including white sails
Early entry encouraged to ensure a berth.

Race Notice and Entry Form are available to download below or from www.gsc.ie or Text/Call Daragh on 087 2580215
