Royal Alfred Yacht Club Unveils 2011 Sailing Programme

3rd April 2011

The 2011 Royal Alfred Yacht Club sailing season opens with a double header in one months time when RAYC cruisers sail for Arklow and several one design fleets gather off Howth for the Niobe trophy. This year's Baily Bowl features one weekend for the Sigma 33s and the J109s on May14 and a second weekend (May 21) dubbed 'Baily Bowl II' for the Dragons, SB3, Squibs and Flying Fifteens. At the end of the season the club is hosting the Patriots Cup, an Invitation Team Racing event at the Royal Irish Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire. It will be sailed in 1720 sportsboats.
