The 2026 Irish Sailing Youth Nationals will take place in Ballyholme Yacht Club from April 9 -12th. The Youth Nationals are the premier event for Irish youth sailors across a range of Junior Dinghy classes and attract sailors aged in their early to late teens. Ballyholme Yacht Club and Irish Sailing look forward to hosting young sailors from across the Country next April for what promises to be a top class competition.
While the event is open to all , it is expected that all competitors entering will be competent in sailing in a sustained fresh breeze and will have experienced competing in regional or National events for their chosen dinghy class within the last nine months.
