As the critical first chance at Olympic qualification for Paris 2024 looms in August, three Irish campaigns get the chance for an Olympic regatta dress rehearsal in July, the results of which will indicate Ireland's medal prospects in exactly one year's time.
Ireland will have an entry in three events which is limited to one per nation, just like the Olympic regatta itself.
2016 Rio veteran Finn Lynch of the National Yacht Club races in the ILCA7 men's single-handed event. Multiple youth Gold medallist Eve McMahon of Howth Yacht Club (and winner of last weekend's Ulster ILCA Championships at Ballyholme) competes in the ILCA6 women's single-handed event.
Tokyo 2020 Olympians Robert Dickson (Howth YC) and new National E boat champion Seán Waddilove (Skerries Sailing Club) make a return after early-season illness in the 49er men's skiff event.
The sailors were selected after a trial series over the two World Cup regattas earlier in the season.
It follows a troubling injury time for some of the squad after the massive Hyeres Regatta where priorities since April have been focused on recovery and rehab.
As Afloat reported previously, Royal Irish's Saskia Tidey from Dun Laoghaire has been named as the Paris Test Event 49er FX Crew for Team GB.
The Test Event is also the final preparation for the first Olympic qualification opportunity for Paris 2024 at the World Sailing Championships in The Netherlands next month.
The nation qualification goals at The Hague will be an Irish boat in the top 16 places by nation for each ILCA event (Men and Women) and a top ten nation place for the 49er men's skiff event.
That event will see Séafra Guilfoyle with Johnny Durcan (Royal Cork Yacht Club) in competition for the 49er men's skiff event, while Ewan McMahon contests the ILCA7 men's single-handed event.
