Craftinsure has confirmed the company will be supporting the Optimist Association in Ireland again this year and hopes it won't be long before younger sailors are afloat once more, along with the rest of us!

IODAI president, Alexander Walsh, says "IODAI are delighted to welcome Craftinsure as sponsors again for 2021". The partnership has now passed its 10th anniversary.

Craftinsure director, Rod Daniel, has great memories of IODAI events that Craftinsure has supported over the years, including when his younger son sailed in the Optimist Leinsters at Skerries and had a wonderful time. "The guys at Skerries Sailing Club and IODAI members could not have been more helpful" says Rod.

"Re-opening sailing clubs and reinstating youth sailing events when safe to do so can only be good for young people's well-being" he adds.
