Melges 15 Demo day in Royal Irish yacht Club Sunday April 27th
The Royal Irish Yacht Club will host a demo day this coming Sunday. A new class to Ireland the Melges 15 is a modern two person dinghy that is fast, fun and stable. It's an extremely versatile boat which allows for all shapes, sizes and skill levels and has grown rapidly since its launch in the US in 2020.
New to Ireland in 2022, there are now 25 boats in the country and excitement is building for the first ever European Championships which will be held in July as part of the Dun Laoghaire regatta where 40 boats are expected. Already in Ireland we have seen the same trends that are established in the States; there are a large number of family partnerships sailing with a very broad age range of crew.
Demo Sailing will be from 10-3 with a BBQ after Sailing. Class members will be on hand to take you sailing and boats will also be available to sail should you come with your own crew.

Details of special offers to join the class before or after the European championships will be shared on the day.
Come down and try out the boat and see for yourself why it's the world’s fastest growing dinghy class. All welcome.
