Dublin Bay Mermaid

It is a 17-foot, half-decked, centreboard boat rigged as a Bermuda sloop, designed for the Dublin Bay Sailing Club in 1932 by John B.

[1] The class still actively races with fleets in Dun Laoghaire, Rush, Skerries and Foynes.

The boats have a helm and 2 crew with a main sail, jib and spinnaker.

The Olympic racing course is most commonly used at Championship level racing events and the class gets great levels of turnouts with a minimum of 20-30 boats always competing at the National Championship event which is held every year.

The boats were not completed in numerical order as sail numbers were not allocated until some years after the first Mermaids were launched.
