Howth Yacht Club presents Women at the Helm Racing 2025
Howth Yacht Club proudly launches its first-ever Women at the Helm Racing Event Friday Evening 29th August! 
 
Three thrilling fleet races will light up the water, with HYC’s female members helming in a mix of
Puppeteers, Squibs, H17s, J80s, J24s, Melges, and a PY fleet. Male crews will be involved with a
maximum of 2 males allowed on J80s, Puppeteers and H17s. All other sailors including the Helm
will be female. If you want to join in and don’t have a place on a boat – just enter and we will find a
berth for you.
 
With an all-female race management team running the show from start to finish, this is more
than competition - it’s a celebration of leadership, skill, and camaraderie.
 
Expect fierce sailing, epic prizes, followed by a shoreside BBQ, live music, and a legendary Après Sail
gathering where friends, family, and crews come together to toast this landmark occasion.
 
Thanks to Irish Sailing, Image Skincare, Hermans and WaterWipes for their support.
