We’re beyond proud to share that Daniel Copithorne has been selected by World Sailing to compete in the U23 Youth Match Racing World Championships from 20–25 June in Middelfart, Denmark 🇩🇰

Only 12 skippers from across the globe are invited to this prestigious championship — putting Daniel firmly among the world’s elite young match racers. 🌟

Daniel has assembled a powerhouse crew of four: long-time sailing partner Matt Mapplebeck, Jacob Collins, Ciara McMahon, and Donal Walsh — a seriously strong lineup ready to take on the best in the world.

We had a fantastic time at the launch event for Calves Week 2026 Schull Harbour Sailing Club last Wednesday at the Royal Cork Yacht Club in Crosshaven. We are thrilled to be the title sponsor of Calves Week 2026, which takes place from 4th to 7th August - a standout event that brings together sailing, family, and community.

With strong early entries and a format that blends competitive racing with a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere, it continues to be a highlight of the West Cork calendar.

As Kevin MacSweeny, our Head of Management Equity, shared at the launch, it is the sense of community that makes this event so special.

Huge congratulations to all the sailors from Schull Harbour Sailing Club who represented their schools — Schull Community College and St Angela’s College — at the Irish Schools Team Racing Championships 🇮🇪⛵️

From the very first races, the Schull Sharks and Schull Seals set the pace, showing real dominance on the water. An intense, high‑quality final saw the Sharks dig deep to take the title once again 🏆

To come away with 1st, 2nd, 13th and 23rd overall is an outstanding achievement and a testament to the skill, teamwork and determination of these young sailors.

A huge thank you to CULLY & SULLY for their fantastic support throughout the championship.

The future in Schull Harbour Sailing Club is very bright 💙🌊
