Dinghy Supplies Sutton are generous sponsors again this year and if the amazing prizes from last year are anything to go by, competition for the top spots will be higher than ever. The series caters for all levels and all abilities. For the serious sailor, the No 1 and No 4 ranked Full Rig Laser sailors in the country will be there, making it very competitive at the front of the fleet and an ideal opportunity for regional event campaigners to stay sharp over the winter. However, the main attraction for most sailors is the camaraderie and fun of Winter Laser sailing with all ages from 15 to 65 racing every Sunday.
Dedictated committee boat starts used exclusively for the Laser class and proper championship courses outside the harbour make for fair and challenging racing, but with race lengths from 45–55 mins typically, it never gets too cold! Most entrants adjourn to the cosy environs of the HYC bar afterwards for a tipple to warm up anyway, which is a nice incentive to get out racing.
The entry fee covers racing and parking in Howth for the whole winter. For further information on the event contact Dave Quinn 086 283 5671, or the HYC office.
See you on the race course!
