The Topper World Championship is being held at Mar Menor in Spain from July 22nd to 26th. We would love to have a large Irish team there as it is such a great event and gives the young sailors an opportunity to feel they are part of something really special. It is a long way to travel especially if you are pulling dinghies so to help Topper Ireland is arranging for a Container to take our Toppers to Spain by road and ferry. The Toppers would be loaded at Wexford tieing in with our three day event on the final week-end of June. If you are interested in joining this container venture then get in touch with our treasuer, Bobby Kenny at rkenny@hertz.ie. And if you would like to sponsor the container in any fashion we’d especially love to hear from you !!

Some of the day’s prizewinners from the 29 5.3 Sailors and the 2 4.2 Class Sailors
