Special Offer for MYC Sailors

For Malahide Yacht Club sailors who haven’t yet had the chance to experience the 420, there’s one association 420 available for use during the training. This is an excellent opportunity, especially recommended for those who are already seasoned in ILCA/Laser, Optimist, or Topper sailing. Keep in mind, these two days of intensive training are rigorous but incredibly rewarding.

Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or looking to take your abilities to the next level, this training offers a fantastic platform to learn, compete, and enjoy the spirit of sailing 2 handed dinghy like the 420

We look forward to seeing you at the Malahide Yacht Club for what promises to be a weekend of top-level sailing and camaraderie.
