The Dublin Judges Group is an informal grouping of ISA Judges (and would-be judges) in the Greater Dublin area.

The group provides a useful service for clubs, classes by transmitting their requests for judges to man protest committees for events.

The social highlight of the group's year is our annual dinner. The dinner will be held in NYC tomorrow (Friday, 3rd February).

All judges, or indeed anyone who enjoys a discussion of the more arcane points of the rules, is welcome. It is not too late to book your place at this prestigious, and sometimes raucous, gathering.

Please contact the group at [email protected]

Waszp sailing

The Waszp project was conceived in 2010 by Andrew McDougall, designer of the world-beating Mach 2 foiling Moth. 

The Waszp was created as a strict one-design foiler, where, as the class says “the true test when raced is between crews and not boats and equipment”.

The objective of the class rules is to ensure that this concept is maintained. Keeping possible modifications to a minimum ensures fair racing across the fleet, helps to reduce the overall cost to the sailor and reduces the amount of time in the workshop. 

The popularity of the WASZP has proven that the boat and the concept work. In October 2021, 1237 boats had been sold to over 45 countries. 

The top speed recorded on the foiling dinghy is 26.7 knots. 

60-95kgs+ is a weight range competitive across varied conditions with rigs knowns as ‘8.2’ and ‘6.9’.

The cost of a Moth dinghy in Europe is €14,400 inc VAT + shipping according to the manufacturers in October 2021.
