We are delighted to announce that Kinsale Branch of Bandon Co-op - Marine and Rope Department - will be the Sponsor of the Irish Squib Nationals 2016 which was due to take place in Kinsale Yacht Club on 19th to 21st of August (however it was postponed until Oct 1st & 2nd due to poor weather).
Rear Commodore (Marina) Matthias Hellstern and Michele Kennelly, Press Officer, Squib Class were delighted to visit the Branch Tues 28th to meet with Branch Manager, Michael Murphy and welcome them aboard.
This is the 3rd time KYC have hosted the Irish National Championships, 2008 and again in 2013 when KYC members James and Bruce Mathews in Mucky Duck took the title.
Seven races in the fabulous sailing area between the Old Head of Kinsale and the Sovereign Islands are bound to be both thrilling and challenging and will no doubt produce a worthy National Champion.
