ISAF Women's Match Racing World Championship

The ISAF Womens's Match Racing World Championships are taking place in Kinsale, Co. Cork this June. The event will see the best all female match racing teams fighting for the world title from the 3rd until the 8th of June.

Two wild card entries have been allocated for Irish teams to compete at the event. There has been interest from a number of Irish teams who want to compete at the worlds. Therefore a qualifying event is being run this Sunday, 11th of April, in Howth Yacht Club to decide who will earn to right to represent Ireland at the World's in June.

In the run up to the qualifier I have been spending some time with one of the teams preparing for the event. Below are a few picture from our training session this morning. We did a lot of pre-start work and tacking practice, before working on some kite work later in the day. It was a great session for everyone and it was really nice to get some two boat training in. Hopefully this recent interest in Match racing in Ireland will continue into the future.
