There will be more boats on the water in the season ahead, crewed by young sailors supported by the Irish Cruiser Racing Association s Under 25 programme which has been so successful that ICRA is now working with the national sailing organisation on developing a further stage of the project, to encourage those finishing it to buy their own boats and increase the size of cruiser fleets at clubs around the country. We are now seeing the positive result of what started many years ago at Howth Yacht Club in focusing on the Under 25s, which was then taken up by ICRA, by clubs around the country. It is really encouraging, Commodore Richard Colwell told me in advance of the annual general meeting of ICRA on Saturday, March 6.
