County Dublin's St Andrew's College (SAC) will stage its inaugural Alumni Team Racing Championships at the Royal St. George Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire Harbour on Saturday. 

Nine teams comprising 54 sailors will compete for a specially made half-model Firefly trophy.

A leather-bound book has also been produced to hold a list of the winning team names, the competitors and a brief summary of the annual event along with some photos. 

The Booterstown school currently has 150 active sailors with 90 training every Wednesday afternoon from the RSTGYC and the RIYC in both keelboat and team racing programmes for SAC primary and secondary schools.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
