The 'unofficial' Irish Squib ladder produced by sailor Vincent Delany has been updated following the results from all 2025 regional and national Squib events. A total of 69 boats participated in regional competitions, marking a record for the class in Ireland.
Due to the cancellation of the East Coast Championships caused by Storm Amy, boats entered are awarded average points of 14, reflecting the 29 entries at Howth Yacht Club. Boats that did not enter receive 30 points, one more than the number of participants.

Ian Travers and Keith O'Riordan's 'Atomic' from Kinsale Yacht Club maintain a strong lead atop the standings.
Notable advances in the rankings include 'Greg Bell's Prodigal' from Royal North of Ireland, now in 4th place, 'Kaizen' helmed by Ronan McDonnell from Howth in 7th, and Alex Minginovic’s 'Chili' from Lough Derg securing the 9th spot.
While some Squib owners face challenges, the focus remains on the competitive landscape of the ladder. "Some Squib owners are on a slippery slope, but it is not our role to highlight those boat owners on their way down the ladder," Delany told Afloat.
