The Club will be busy with the activity of the forthcoming ILCA Worlds Championships being co-hosted by the NYC and RSGYC every day from Tuesday 18th August to Saturday 12th September when competitors will be launching from the Club’s slipway and coaches will be berthing their ribs on the Club Pontoon. All of this activity should not affect our members normal sailing from the Club and members are encouraged to visit the Club during the championships and enjoy the activity. The competitors ILCAs will be parking on the Carlisle Pier when not sailing and their coaches ribs will berth on the outer pontoons of both Clubs. The inner pontoons will be kept free for Club and Members use and regular activities. The dinghy park will not be effected by the championships but please do check in with the Sailing Office re: launching times so as to ensure efficient launching for all.
This year, the event race office will be in an office on the Carlisle Pier. There will be enhanced security in the Clubs and surrounding area during the Championship period, please do bring your membership card with you.
The pre-event video for the 2026 ILCA 7 Men’s and ILCA 6 Women’s World Championships has just been released – see it here.
Olympic sailing class world championships are generally only held in Europe once every 4 years and as such, this is a once in a generation opportunity for Ireland to host such a prestigious and high calibre event and the two host Clubs – the NYC and RSGYC – look forward to hosting over 400 Olympic class sailors and coaches in our Clubs over the next few weeks.
