#SAIL-TOUR– Under a ticket lottery scheme there is an opportunity to view the architecture along the Dun Laoghaire coastline by taking a tour on board Go Sailing's 54ft luxury yacht, as part of the annual Open House Dublin weekend (5-7 October), writes Jehan Ashmore.

The tour is scheduled to depart the marina in Dun Laoghaire Harbour at 1.45pm on Saturday (6th October). By taking to the water, the 2hrs 15mins cruise, will provide a completely different perspective of the built environment and overall views along the scenic southern coastline of Dublin Bay.

Due to consistently high demand, the limited places available on the tour are to be distributed via a lottery system, for details as to how to apply they can be found by clicking this LINK.

About J Class Yachts

The J Class has its roots in the oldest sporting race in the world, The America’s Cup.

The founding of the J Class Association (JCA) in 2000 to protect the interests of the Class, present and future, accelerated a real revival. 

Class Rules were established for the construction of replica rebuilds from original plans and several replicas and original designs were subsequently built. 

The class, which today comprises nine boats, now has an annual calendar highlighted by the Caribbean and Mediterranean sailing seasons.
