High Performance Dinghy Presentation Evening & Debate - NYC Friday 4th October 18:30

“JUST DO IT” – NYC – Friday 4th October @ 18;30 (as featured in the Irish Times 27th Sept)

Interested in those skiffs or mad foiling machines? Don't know how to get started or involved? Then this event is for you...We'll try and cover everything you want to know on Skiffs, 49er, 29er, Moth etc...

The objectives of the evening are:

  • To inform potential new comers
  • To see what level of interest there is to get into that scene...create an attendance / database list
  • To detail what we are trying to achieve by coming together and what are potential routes to continue on from here if interested. (Create Yahoo Group? Facebook page? Committing to program to get involved with particular boats or to try a few, training hard in one class to perform)
  • To promote the around the island challenge
  • To explore the room to develop a series for Hi Perf Dinghies in Dun Laoghaire, within or outside of DBSC, elsewhere in Ireland....

For the evening, each speaker will have:
  • a Promotional video
  • Clean and tidy example of boat rigged outside the JB room for viewing
  • a Short presentation detailing:
    1. How old is the design. Pros & cons
    2. Realistic budget to buy (new / 2nd hand) and sail the boat.
    3. The "real world" physique or characteristics needed to sail the boat including ideal crew / helm weight etc...
      • to have fun
      • to compete
    4. Why they chose the class
    5. Strength/quality of the fleet now and what it's expected to be in the future...in IRL? In UK? Further?
    6. Andddddd mention your top recorded speed!
