The 11th edition of the Elmo Trophy is set to return to Dún Laoghaire on the 8th and 9th August.
Hosted by the Royal St George Yacht Club, the event will bring together youth teams from all around Ireland and overseas for two days of close tactical racing in a fleet of colour-matched Firefly dinghies.
The regatta, which is running slightly earlier than usual this year, will see teams of six compete in the internationally recognised three-boat versus three-boat format, regarded as the highest level of tactical dinghy team racing.
Racing will take place in six flights of matched Firefly dinghies, with each contest demanding teamwork, boat handling and split-second tactical decisions.
Beyond the racing, the Elmo Trophy has become known for its strong social programme as competitors will gather for the traditional Saturday night dinner, with karaoke returning after its successful introduction last year.
The Notice of Race is below, and online entry is now available through the Royal St. George Yacht Club website.
