Winter Activity for Youths
New activity scheduled for Youth sailors
As we enter the winter and lose the evening light we will now be running youth activities on Saturdays for all abilities.
Pirates
Following the success of the Friday night pirates we have now added Pirates to Saturdays! With both an AM and PM session allowing for it to fit within other activities sailors may have.
Youth Race Club
For those looking to improve their racing skills, come join us for Youth Racing Club. Open to all sailors with their RYA Start Racing, these sessions will aim to introduce new sailors to racing skills whilst giving experienced sailors a chance to practice their own.
Winter Series
Perfect for those looking to have a go at their first sailing event. With a Training fleet perfect for novice racers, supported by a coach giving advice and guidance during racing.
Pathway Training
These weekends offer high-quality coaching, focused on improving technique, tactics, and performance on the water. For sailors who have their RYA Start Racing and have been regularly sailing at their local club.
Congratulations!
🎉 What a group of talented young sailors we have at our Club! Check this out…
In Early August, Laragh and Roisin Epstein claimed overall victory at the 2026 Irish International 420 Class Championships on Lough Derg, topping a 29-boat Irish and British fleet after eight races.
Lough Derg Yacht Club hosted the three-day championship from 7-9 August, with competitors facing changing conditions and close racing following two days of pre-event coaching.
Representing CBYC aboard GBR 56943, the Epstein sisters established themselves at the head of the fleet with an exceptionally consistent series. They recorded four race wins and did not finish outside the top two in any of their seven counting scores.
A big shout-out also to Niamh and Cian Epstein, who attended and competed in the championships.
Congratulations to all involved on a fantastic achievement! ⛵👏
