#dinghy –In a welcome boost for Irish dinghy sailing, senior sailors are invited to what is Ireland's first ever 'dinghy summit' to hear 'thought provoking' comment from some of the country's leading exponents of the sport, including 2012 Irish Olympic Laser sailor James Espey and former Laser II world champion Noel Butler.
Butler will talk about his psychology of winning, being prepared and some specific Fireball topics.
Butler will also cover his story about how he came into the sport late and took a measured approach towards training to eventually win a world championship.
James Espey is expected to share tips for going fast in a Laser.
Also speaking is Graham Elmes who has represented Ireland in many classes including the Mirror, SB20, Etchells, Firefly (team racing).
Following on from his very popular talk on starting techniques and the first beat Graham plans a revised version of this talk.
The event takes place on 23rd Feb from 10:30am in the Royal St. George George Yacht Club's Junior Room. A fee of €10 at the door.
