#Topper - The Irish Topper Class Association is appealing for parents of class members to join its committee for 2018-19.

“Every year, as sailors move on to other classes, so do most of the parents who have served on the committee,” said the class in a statement on social media. 

“The class only exists because of parental support, so if you feel you would like to help next season, please chat to any of the committee members or drop an email to Nicola at [email protected]. 

“For the majority of positions, you do not need any sailing knowledge, just a willingness to help.”

Contacts are available on the Topper Ireland website.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
