Tracht beach in Kinvara, Co Galway again played host to the final series on the Irish Slalom Tour 2011. 2011 has been a fantastic year for breeding new slalom racers as new faces showed up and shook up the mix. Overall conditions were mixed over the 6 Series Events but when it was good it was real good! From Cork to Kerry up to Newtownards and Donegal; back by Dublin; there was nowhere better to finish than in the fishing village of Kinvara. The community of Kinvara invited us in 2010 for the first year and we promised we would be back. The October Bank Holiday weekend was lining up to be a good one, and it delivered. Saturday was forecasting 18-20 knots with gusts up to 25 knots and Sunday similar with slightly less gust. A few sailors arrived on Friday evening to give the course a run through and give a few local spectators a taste of the action to come.

“ The ISS Team are delighted to announce that the Kinvara Slalom Event (Series 6) will be going ahead on the October Bank Holiday weekend Saturday the 29^th and 30^th. Danny Mulryan and Co organised a very successful event last year in Kinvara and it was one we were all looking forward to this year. Unfortunately Danny was unable to commit to fully organising the event but with his assistance the ISS team will be taking it on, along with a few local volunteers. The event will be supported by Rusheen Bay, Cully and Sully, and Pier Head Restaurant and Bar. The Kinvara event last year was one of the best in the history of the series and hopefully this year will be no different – craic, wind and plenty of entertainment. More info to follow so keep an eye out for the poster and more details”
