News : March 05 update

Optimist.

The ISA squad is about to conclude its program after a successful Autumn and a good start to the spring program. Unfortunately Sean Gambier Ross has been off injuried but we expect his return this weekend.

The weekend in Derg is surely going to be busy with KYC and SSC coming up with their club coach and the performance Dun Laogaire group (18 sailors) there as well with their British coaches.

I still have a few sails in Stock from Olimpic at best price ( cash deal only). Dont wait for the last minut before the trials!

B-Cademy

The B-Cademy and a few invitees are about to set for the UK for 9 days for what is the best deal around in combining high quality training away from home and two events (the two events are also part of the international aspect of the ISAF youth worlds trials).

We are also in the process of finalising the trip to Italy to compete at the Europa cup after Easter.

Others

I also had a successful squib clinic in Kinsale in February! the winds were relatively light but loads were learnt! videos soon online.

After looking at Minibusses and various 7 seaters, I just purchased a new Nissan Patrol (7 seater) which should become available to tow various ISA, IODAI and personal trailer around Europe by mid April. The investment was VERY stiff on my budget and I had to borrow a fair amount of money... Various organisations (ISA, IODAI...) can get in touch with me to see under what conditions the vehicle can be used in the futur as I have made that investment with the current difficulties we regularly find in sourcing suitable towing vehicles for our large trailers.

I need to sell my mini transat (share or full boat) to finance 470 campaign. valued at 22 000. I am open to any offer!
