Dublin University Sailing Club (DUSC) is set to host their 11th Team Racing Alumni event on the 15th of November in the Royal St George Yacht Club at Dun Laoghaire Harbour on Dublin Bay.
Following a record-breaking year with 18 teams entered and over 50 races, the bar has certainly been set high. DUSC are pushing to build on the eight Alumni teams they welcomed last year with the goal of hosting even more Alumni on the water. "Events like this show how sport can bridge generations, uniting everyone in a day of thrilling races and good-natured rivalry," Finn Walker, a DUSC 24/25 Captain, told Afloat.
The event will feature traditional 3v3 team racing in the classic Firefly, followed by a black tie dinner and boogie, with all volunteers and entrants welcome!
This event unites current and former TCD sailors for a day of friendly competition and good fun, both on and off the water. It remains one of the most anticipated events on the TCD sailing calendar — full of laughs, rivalries, and great sailing. We look forward to welcoming everyone as we continue our momentum towards the 100th anniversary of TCD Sailing", Harry Twomey, the DUSC 25/26, said.
With last year's event being won by a team of current students, the challenge goes out to all Alumni to dethrone them and take the trophy home for the teams of Trinity gone by!
Entries will open soon, with all information available on the Trinity Sailing Instagram account (@trinitysailing) or by emailing captain@trinitysailing.com or Alumni@trinitysailing.com.
