RS Northerns 2015
Toby Hudson-Fowler and Greg Arrowsmith win at CLYC
The RS Feva fleet enjoyed a competitive Northerns at Carlingford Lough Yacht Club with three different race winners all hailing from Dun Laoghaire. The top three boats showed great consistency in spite of the shifty conditions, with none of them scoring worse than a 3rd placing. Coming out on top was Toby Hudson Fowler and Greg Arrowsmith who grew in confidence as the weekend progressed winning the final four races. In second was a very impressive display by Triona Hinkson and Kathy Kelly who managed to hold off the challenge of Clare Gorman and Sarah Fogarty in third.
RS Easterns 2015
RS Dinghy Classes Surf into 2015 With Sparkling RIYC Eastern Champs
To the untrained eye it was business as usual for the Combined RS Classes racing out of the Royal Irish Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire over the weekend of the 18th and 19th of April. We had a big and very competitive fleet of 16 Fevas, 25 RS400s and 9 RS 200s giving a total of 50 boats on the water. Aadd to this the sight of new sails pouring out of the McCready's sailboats van on the first morning and the scene was set. The expectation of great racing, and a forecast for good wind and sun had everyone excited. Read the whole article on Afloat.ie.

RS Feva Worlds 2015 - Travemunde - Germany
Expression of interest required for Irish Team
The Feva class are currently looking for expressions of interest from anyone thinking about going to Travemunde next July for the Allen RS Feva World Championships. This promises to be a fantastic event and a great sailing experience. The plan would be to put together a squad to train up in the months before and travel together to the event with the coach. Full details of the event can be found in the link below. I know it seems like a long way off at this stage but in order to book the week with the coach and get the cheapest deals on travel the sooner we know numbers the better.
Anyone interested please contact Heather King at seanandheather@hotmail.com
