Membership

All members are issued with a password which gives them access to the member’s area of the UK association website so effectively they have the same benefits as a UK association member but at a cheaper rate. As with previous years competitors at regional and national events must be members of either the Irish or UK association.

Membership runs from 1st January to 31st December.  Membership forms will be available to download in the new year

The Association

The Irish RS Dinghy Class Association was set up in 2003 to promote the RS Class in Ireland. In just a short period of time, the RS class has become the largest asymmetric class in Ireland, with over 50 RS dinghies regularly sailing today. Interest in the class continues to grow as racing asymmetrics dinghies attracts sailors from traditional classes looking for the added tactical challenges and new skills that asymmetrics provide.

The Irish National Championships held annually, form part of the RS European Circuit, drawing competition of the highest calibre from abroad to race in Ireland. For the Irish sailor, this not only brings international racing to home waters, but also presents a ready made international circuit for those who want to race further afield.

Adopting both the RS200 and RS400 dinghies means that sailors of all ages, sizes and abilities are catered for. The RS class currently has sailors ranging from mid teens to mid fifties, both male and female competing against each other.
