Island Trial - Register here for News

The Island Trial is a sailing Time Trial around a fixed course in Dublin Bay. The challenge is open to all sailors in all boats. The course will be deemed "open" as soon as the racing marks are laid for the summer. The course will remain open until the racing marks are removed next October.

The aim is to sail the course in the fastest  time. A leaderboard will be maintained at this site which will show the outright leader for the Bragging Rights Cup. There will be a separate leaderboard maintained for trialists using times corrected under the PY Handicap for the Handy Sailor Silver Salver.

The course will open in less than a month so please get ready:
  1. Register your interest using the form below so that we can mail you with news and updates.
  2. Install the Endomondo tracking software on your phone and familiarise yourself with it. It's freely available on the App Store and Google Play.
To enter sailors must agree to our terms and conditions. On completion of the course the trialist must provide us with a GPX file with which we can verify the sailing route and elapsed time. We are recommending that entrants use the Endomondo Sports Tracker which we have found to be the most stable and easy to use app for tracking. It is freely available on the App Store and Google Play.
We look forward to seeing you on the Bay this Summer.

Thank you

Paul Keane & Hugh Sheehy
