SUMMARY:Cruising Group Meeting with Guest Speaker Gráinne Costigan
DESCRIPTION:Monday September 1st at 7pm – HYC Asgard Room\n\n\nHYC Cruising are delighted to welcome Gráinne Costigan to our September meeting and we invite all HYC members\, along with family or friends who may be thinking about taking up sailing\, to join us.\n\nGráinne has an inspirational story and started sailing as a child in Sutton and later raced out of Howth. She went on to study physics and astronomy\, living in various places around Europe while earning her PhD and working as an astronomer. She is now living and working in Barcelona where she discovered the Mini 6.50 class and bought her own boat\, Sea Fever\, in January 2022.\n\nThe Mini is a 6.5 m purpose-built boat for solo Atlantic crossings without outside assistance or contact. Technology is kept deliberately low to keep campaign budgets accessible\, and the unique philosophy of the class fosters a tight-knit\, supportive community of competitive solo sailors. Gráinne has been an active part of the Mediterranean circuit and is heavily involved in the local training group.\n\nIn 2024\, she completed the challenging Round Trip race from Les Sables d’Olonne to the Azores and back. This June\, she and co-skipper Ceci Zori delivered an impressive performance in the Mini Fastnet\, finishing 4th out of a fleet of 50 and winning the Best Performance Prize for traditional bow boats.\n\nNow\, she is in the final stages of preparation for the Mini Transat\, starting on 21 September—a solo race across the Atlantic—in which she will make history as the first Irish woman to take on this iconic challenge.\n\nJoin us to hear here story.
