We’re incredibly proud to announce that Irish Sailing Youth National Championships 2026 will be hosted at Ballyholme Yacht Club. This prestigious championship will see the very best young sailors from across Ireland descend on Ballyholme for a week of high-level racing, skill, and sportsmanship, showcasing the future of Irish sailing on our doorstep. Hosting the Youth Nationals is a major vote of confidence in the club, our volunteers, our facilities and a huge moment for the wider sailing community in the area.
Preparations are already well underway, with teams working behind the scenes to deliver an event that matches the scale and importance of the championships, both on and off the water. The regatta will be more than just racing; it will be a celebration of youth sailing, club culture, and the incredible coastal setting that Ballyholme offers. Registrations are now open, and we encourage sailors, parents, and supporters to register early and be part of what promises to be an unforgettable week for competitors and spectators alike. This is set to be a landmark event for BYC and we can’t wait to welcome you in 2026.
