3rd March 2023

DBSC has launched an under-30s discount to encourage more young people to race on Dublin Bay. Commodore Ed Totterdell says the initiative should appeal particularly to classes like the SB20s (above) and the Sportsboat class Credit: Afloat

Dublin Bay Sailing Club (DBSC), Ireland's largest yacht racing club at Dun Laoghaire Harbour, want to promote younger keelboat sailing teams, so much so that they are giving a discount of 25% on the normal entry fee!

Teams consisting entirely of sailors who are 30 or under on the 1st of April 2023 can enter and will receive a 25% discount on normal fees.

DBSC provides weekly racing for upwards of 360 yachts, ranging from ocean-going forty-footers to small dinghies for juniors and has over 20 participating classes for year-round racing on Dublin Bay.

All DBSC Green Fleet, Blue Fleet and Red Fleet entries are included in this initiative.

Commodore Ed Totterdell feels that this will appeal particularly to classes like the SB20s and Sportsboat class but also knows of some interest in other keelboat classes.

DBSC has also formed a special subcommittee of younger sailors to look at ways to make this season exciting and fun for members aged 30 and under. They are planning some great events for the 2023 season.

"It would be great to see a big turnout of young keelboat sailors, so get your team together and enjoy the craic and competition for 2023", Totterdell said.
