The Royal St George Yacht Club has announced their 2023/2024 winter training for Topper dinghies.

"The club is keen to build a fleet of the exciting and durable dinghy in anticipation of even greater demand for single-handed sailing", former Commodore Richard O'Connor told Afloat.

The coaching schedule has been timed to complement a busy winter dinghy offering at Dun Laoghaire Harbour, and participants of the Royal St George’s schedule will be able to join up with other winter squads on occasion.

Toby Hudson Fowler, who has extensive coaching experience, having coached numerous National and Regional champions in multiple fleets, will lead the Topper trainingToby Hudson Fowler, who has extensive coaching experience, having coached numerous National and Regional champions in multiple fleets, will lead the Topper training

The coaching is open to participants from other clubs and will be run very similarly to the Topper fleet’s Traveller Events, keeping costs down as much as possible. Coaching will commence this Sunday, October 22nd.
