The 2023 ICRA National Sailing Championships, sponsored by our esteemed partner monday.com, are now open for registration. The event, taking place from Friday, 8 to Sunday, 10 September at the Howth Yacht Club, marks the highlight of the Summer Sailing season, and monday.com’s title sponsorship has bolstered the planning process for the championships.
Anticipating a significant turnout, the organisers are preparing to receive over 100 boats and more than 1,000 competitors across five classes. The pristine waters between Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island, located off the Fingal coast of North County Dublin, will serve as the backdrop for the competition.
To celebrate the sponsorship, Provident CRM has developed an exclusive solution designed to assist boat owners and crews in managing their demanding schedules using monday.com. The template offers scheduling and integration features that cater to crew availability, boat maintenance, and event planning. This will be available for free download to guest users, and it can be requested here.
ICRA Commodore David Cullen welcomed the development of the solution powered by monday.com, acknowledging that managing a sailing team can be complex and time-consuming, making such tools valuable for boats of all sizes.
As we put the spectre of the Covid pandemic well behind us, we’re making sure that we have plenty of time to stage a super event both afloat and ashore that Howth is well-known for.
– Jill Sommerville, Chairperson, HYC Organising Committee
In addition to the cruiser-racer classes, the event will incorporate the J24 National Championships, expecting around 30 crews from all corners of Ireland to participate.
The Irish Cruiser Racing Association serves as the national coordinating body for cruiser-racer type sailing boats across various venues in Ireland, operating under the umbrella of Irish Sailing, the national governing body for Sailing & Boating.
Online entry for the event is available here.
The Irish Cruiser Racing Association’s National Championship is an annual event that has taken place every autumn since the very first National Championship race in 2003. This year’s race will take place in Howth Yacht Club in Dublin, Ireland, and is expected to greet approximately 1,000 sailors and 100 boats.
