Ballyholme YC's Icebreaker Series starts tomorrow with 22 races scheduled almost every Sunday between October and April 2014 (with rest over January). We have a new sponsor this year in Lisglass Builders which is ran by the well known sailing family of Paul Fekkes from EDYC.

There are 59 boats already entered online before the usual queue out the BYC door on Sunday lunchtime for late registration. Thirty-two Lasers, three Laser 4.7s and ten Radials are joined by nine Toppers and four Large Dinghy Handicaps as already entered so we expect to surpass the 100 boats from last year. We are also expecting a number of F18s to arrive from all over Ireland to get practising before the F18 World Championships at BYC next July.

The NOR and Entry On Line can be found at www.ballyholme.com/icebreaker-series-201314
