With only a month to go to the fourth Irish RS Aero National Championships on 15th & 16th June 2024, entries have been coming in steadily, and the entry list already includes two US based sailors who will add an international flavour to the event.

The Nationals will once again be supported by KODC Advisory who also sponsored the Easterns Championship in Howth last year.

Paul Mc Mahon is the defending champion and will be hoping for a repeat on home waters. The sailors will also be hoping for a repeat of the classic Howth Easterly conditions of last October’s event.

The Principal Race Officer for the event is top sailor Nigel Biggs.

A key feature of many RS Aero events, which has proved very popular, is top class coaching before the event. We are delighted that Thomas Chaix has kindly agreed to provide a training session on Friday 14th June in the afternoon.

Make your entry for this exciting racing experience on the HYC website and contact Daragh Sheridan for more information on the race and how to charter an Aero for the event.

We look forward to seeing many Members participate in this mid-summer competition and welcoming many more dinghy sailors to Howth Yacht Club for a fantastic event.
