Dinghy Sailing
Dinghy Racing
Fast, competitive club racing in dinghies and small keelboats throughout the season.
Club racing
Racing for all levels
FYC runs regular dinghy racing throughout the season, with separate fleets for juniors and adults. Racing takes place in the sheltered waters close to the club, with courses set to suit the conditions.
Club racing is informal and welcoming — the perfect environment to develop race tactics and boat speed. More experienced sailors are always happy to offer advice and coaching.
Open events attract visiting fleets from across Munster, making FYC regattas a great opportunity to test yourself against a wider field.
