National 18 Class to Host Irish Sailing Dinghy Champion of Champions’ Cup 2025

The Irish Sailing Dinghy Champion of Champions cup will take place on the 4^th and 5^th October in the Royal Cork Yacht Club, Crosshaven, Cork. The event will be punctuated with a causal and relaxed dinner on the Saturday evening for the invited helms and crews. Friends and family are more than welcome to also attend and additional tickets can be purchased through the link here.  A total of twelve Helms are invited from across the adult dinghy classes that are sailed in Ireland to compete against each other and establish the Dinghy Champion of Champions' 2025. The National 18 dinghy will be used for this event – an adult three-person dinghy which is both exciting and exhilarating to sail , where all boats being used for the two day event will be fully equalised. The racing format will consist of two initial qualifying flights with six sailors in each – the top two from each flight will automatically qualify for the final , while the remaining helms will have a further opportunity to qualify through a repechage series. The Final is scheduled to take place on Sunday afternoon for what we hope will be a highly competitive event amongst the best of the best dinghy sailors throughout Ireland.  Link to event website is here, where the list of invitees is published.
