Ballyholme YC will be hosting the WPFG Sailing Championship this August in Laser dinghies.
We already have enquiries from the USA and Australia and entries are in double figures. Charter boats are available via McCready Sailboats. The information sheet, event poster and Notice of Race are now available at www.ballyholme.com/events.
Ballyholme has a long history with Laser sailing having hosted the Laser European Radials in recent years and many national and provincial championships. We boast one of the largest Laser fleets in Ireland and the current Olympic Laser sailor James Espey who is getting ready for Rio, and many of the top youths in Ireland including top boy and girl at the recent ISA Youth Championships.
If any UK or Irish policemen or firemen would like to compete at Ballyholme before the WPFG, we are hosting the Irish Laser Masters Championships in May and there will also be coaching sessions available in the run up to August.
For more information, contact Paul Prentice. See the event poster here.
