With Spring in the air our thoughts have turned to sailing once more.
This year we have a fantastic line up of training and racing for Optimists in Howth Yacht Club.

So if you have an Oppie or are considering buying one then welcome aboard!

There will be coaching available for all levels beginner, intermediate and advanced.
So no matter what your level or ability there's something for everyone.
