The Royal Irish Yacht Club is hosting this year's Dublin Bay Sailing Club Turkey Shoot Sailing Series from Sunday 6th November to Sunday December 18th.
- Entry forms and the NOR is downloadable below.
A series of seven races to be held on Sunday mornings (First gun 10.10 hrs) under modified ECHO.
'Cruisers, cruising boats, one-designs and boats that do not normally race are very welcome', according to DBSC race organiser Fintan Cairns.
As a DBSC incentive to get people sailing, a boat that takes out a non–sailor (new to sailing) will get a 2% discount on it’s handicap that day. The non-sailor will qualify as such for 3 races if taken. There may be overlaps with non-sailors so rules will again evolve! Names must be registered before racing on the day. Cairns says the rule should be 'used in the spirit meant'.
Dun Laoghaire's Irish National Sailing School has been quick off the mark to launch a 'Turkey Shoot Sailing package' for beginners, providing tuition and racing each Sunday in a 1720. Full details on this INSS package here.
Entry fee to the series at €70.00 – includes temporary membership of Dublin Bay SC and Royal Irish YC
Entry forms and the NOR is downloadable below.
Sailing instructions will be available on Sunday 6th November and will be emailed to entrants beforehand.
After sailing, food will be available to competitors in the Royal Irish YC
