Melges 15 Class HYC

Lots of excitement in the Melges fleet right now.
 
The Irish Sailing Dinghy Champions Cup is on this weekend (3–4 October) at the Royal St George YC in Dún Laoghaire  and for the first time, it's being sailed in Melges 15s rather than the usual dinghy classes, putting some of Ireland's best helms into boats several Howth sailors know well.
 
Twelve helms have been invited, representing a wide range of dinghy classes including GP14/Mirror, Fireball, RS400, Shannon One Design, IDRA 14, Water Wags, Mermaid, ILCA 7, ILCA 6, Melges 15 and RS200/RS Aero.  Best of luck to HYC's Alan Carr representing the IDRA 15 Class.
 
Closer to home, HYC's own Melges 15 Autumn Series gets underway this Sunday, 4 October, with twelve boats entered across four Sundays of sprint racing run off Vakaros RaceSense.
