Applications are now open for RYA Northern Ireland’s Youth Performance Programme.
In addition, the regional body for sailing and boating in Northern Ireland will run selection weekends in the form of open training at East Antrim Boat Club, on the weekend of 7-8 October for Toppers and 14-15 October for the ILCA class.
“Selections are an interesting time,” says RYANI performance manager Andrew Baker. “Established sailors are looking to move to the next step of their pathway and often look to change class.
“But also new sailors from our clubs and classes turn up for their first attempt to be recognised for their efforts and be selected for our programmes.” The RYA website has more details HERE.
In other news, RYANI’s 20th Annual General Meeting will take place on Saturday 11 November at Carrickfergus Sailing Club. The meeting will be held as part of RYANI Connected 2023. To book your place, and for other details, see the RYA website HERE.
RYANI has also recently appointed three new members to its board.
Gavin Nelson, Owen Waters and Linda MacHugh have recently joined and will help to deliver the aims of the Navigating the Future strategy.
