We are delighted to announce the running of the Key Capital Private Spring Warmer Series at Howth Yacht Club. This traditional season opener is being run over two Saturdays with four great Windward /Leeward races, starting on Saturday 1st April 2016 with cranes and storage all included.  The Spring Warmers provide racing for Cruiser Classes 1, 2 and 3 as well as the one-design keelboats SB20’s, J24’s, Puppeteers, Squibs and J80’s. It’s a fantastic way to start the racing year and to get your crews back into full-racing mode in advance of club racing series and the many early-season open events.

As with last year, there is expected to be particularly strong competition in the highly-competitive Class 2 and the SB20s will also be looking to get in some early boat and crew ‘tuning’ time on the water in advance of  their Eastern Championships which will also being held in Howth later in the month.

The notice of race, online entry and sailing instructions are available here
