Class aficionado Vincent Delany has produced the latest edition of his 'Squib Ladder' for the 2025 season based on results from five past events.

The ladder is not an official document from the Irish Squib Class, but Delany's data shows that a healthy fleet of 69 Squibs (down one from the previous ladder) competed in the Squib regional championships over the past 12 months.

The top three of the ladder are:

Ian Travers and Keith O'Riordan of Kinsale YC.
Aidan O'Connell and Lauren Donaghy of the Royal Irish Yacht Club.
Vincent Delany & Joe O'Byrne of Royal St.GYC & Lough Derg YC
