Some boats may not have sailed since the end of a very successful 2022 season.  This training day is the perfect opportunity to ‘blow off the cobwebs’ and get sailing to ensure a seamless transition into the 2023 racing season.
 
We all sail to ultimately have fun, at whatever level that is. To have fun on a boat, we must be comfortable in what we are doing, to be comfortable we need practise and guidance.  With top coaches Barry Hayes, Kenny Rumball & Liam Glynn, short track your learning by getting advice from some of the best sailors in Ireland who are also trained coaches.  
 
This day is for all boats no matter if they are season winners or just starting out, all crew and boats will benefit from the day.

 
DBSC welcomes this great initiative to get boats in the 2023 AIB DBSC Sailing season off to a great start.
