#IrishSailing - The Irish Sailing Race Officials Conference for 2018, originally set for this past weekend, has been rescheduled for next month on Sunday 15 April.

Irish Sailing made the decision on Friday (2 March) on account of the extreme weather event across Ireland in recent days.

The venue remains the Plaza Hotel in Tallaght, and places can be booked on the Irish Sailing website for anyone interested in racing, whether practising or aspiring race officials, committee boat volunteers and others.

Fourteen speakers will be travelling from the UK and around Ireland for the conference, which will feature presentations on weather forecasting, tides, race communications and management, and much more.

Meanwhile, Irish Sailing’s 2018 AGM proceeds as planned at the National Yacht Club this coming Saturday 10 March.
