The George Invitational Team Racing Regatta returns this weekend, and we are delighted to welcome 26 teams from across Ireland and the UK who will go head-to-head in one of the largest and most exciting team racing events in these islands. Competition for the George Invitational Trophy promises to be fierce, with world-class racing expected throughout.
Forecasts suggest warm weather and champagne sailing conditions — perfect for what is always a spectacular display on the water. As ever with this event, the action ashore will match that afloat, with a fantastic atmosphere and plenty of “craic” for competitors, members, and visitors alike.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming our visiting teams to the club and extending a true George welcome. A special thank you must go to our members who have generously offered accommodation for competitors and officials. This spirit of hospitality is a hallmark of the Royal St. George Yacht Club — bringing people together, building lasting friendships, and creating the unique sense of community that defines the George.
Racing is scheduled to get underway at 08:47 on Saturday morning. If you’d like to get involved, we are still looking for additional RIB drivers and shoreside volunteers — it’s a fantastic way to be part of the action. Whether afloat or ashore, team racing offers great fun and a brilliant atmosphere.
We encourage all members to come down, soak up the excitement, and support what promises to be a standout weekend at the club.
