#optimist – On line insurance specialist, Craftinsure.ie, is to sponsor the 2013 Irish National and Open Optimist dinghy sailing Championships, to be hosted by the National Yacht Club at Dun Laoghaire in August.
The event is anticipated to attract well over 200 young sailors, including a number from the UK and as far away as India, with more expected from other European countries as Dun Laoghaire is the venue for the Optimist European Championships in 2014.
