Brassed Off Cup Returns on Good Friday
 
Our much-loved Brassed Off Cup is back and set to sail in just a few weeks on Good Friday, April 3rd. The event promises the perfect spring shake-off for Optimist sailors, kicking off the season with energy, excitement, and friendly rivalry.
 
The lively annual regatta has firmly established itself on the junior sailing calendar, attracting young competitors from across Dublin to the sheltered waters just north of Howth Harbour. With the first real taste of spring sailing, participants will dust off their gear and dive straight into action.
 
 
The format is designed for fast, fun racing with three short, sharp races from 11:00, ensuring plenty of thrills on the water. And in true Brassed Off Cup tradition, every sailor goes home with an Easter Egg!
 
Whether you’re taking part or cheering from the pier, the Brassed Off Cup offers a brilliant way to kick off the season and celebrate junior sailing in Dublin.
