420 Training at Malahide

Malahide Yacht Club shall be hosting a series of 420 coaching days on the Broadmeadows, Malahide over four Saturdays in October 2010.

The four sessions shall run from 9:30am until 5:30pm on Saturday, 2nd October 2010; Saturday, 9th October 2010; Saturday, 16th October 2010 and Saturday, 23rd October 2010.

The sessions are open to anybody who has been competing in dinghies at regional or national level and who has achieved a standard equivalent to ISA Kites and Wires 1 with spinnaker and trapeze.

Graeme Grant, an experienced international coach and former 420 and 470 sailor, shall be in charge of coaching each session.

The cost for four sessions is €100 per person using their own boat. Malahide Yacht Club has two well-maintained 420's that are available to suitably experienced sailors who would like to try sailing in the 420 Class. The cost of four sessions using a club boat is €200 per person, while a €250 per person damage deposit will also be required from anybody using a club boat.

Malahide Yacht Club welcomes discussion with any interested parties about the timing and venues for more 420 coaching in the Dublin area over the winter months.
