Ireland
Renowned the world over for its warmth, hospitality, unrivaled infrastructure and unique culture, it’s little wonder that Ireland is considered The Event Island. From its cosmopolitan cities to stunning seascapes, captivating cliffs to lush mountain tops, events held here take on the very essence of their surroundings. International championships in particular excel in our world-class infrastructure with vibrant people and a landscape that never fails to inspire. We will bring to this event a style and spirit that’s uniquely Irish. A deeply passionate nation, we adore being part of a crowd that roars with unwavering support. Irish hearts, like Irish doors, are always open.
Dún Laoghaire
Considered as the sailing and leisure capital of Ireland, Dun Laoghaire is located on the outskirts of Dublin. It offers sailors, officials and families a uniquely compact site – with easy circulation between the accommodation, dinghy park, and social/dining areas. The championship venue is a short distance from the sailing area, airport and capital city of Dublin.
Event Hosts
The event will be hosted by The Royal St. George Yacht Club and the National Yacht Club. The Clubs are based in Dun Laoghaire Harbour which is adjacent to the superb sailing waters of Dublin Bay on the East coast of Ireland, and have many years of experience hosting major international sailing events. The event is supported by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and Fáilte Ireland.
Visiting Families
A ‘Meet and Greet Team’ formed from club members will coordinate a programme of activities and entertainment for visiting friends and families, and be on hand each race day in a central meeting area in the waterfront clubs. An attractive range of visitor attractions will be put in place for the Lay Day in conjunction with Fáilte Ireland, the Irish Tourist Board and Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council.
