This weekend, the 14th and 15th of November, DIT and DCU host to the IUSA Eastern's. This is the second IUSA event of the Academic year and the two Colleges have had the pleasure of organising things and they have been busy the last couple of days with final preparations.
The event is to be held in Schull under the watchful eye of David Harte of Schull Community School and there has been huge interest in this event, with in the region of 26 teams entered and an estimated attendance upwards of 250 people.
The teams, competitors and entourage will be travelling from far and wide for this event, with Schull being popular spot for team racing, with the ITRA Nationals held at the venue earlier this year in April and now it has been announced that David Harte and Tim O'Connor Principal of Schull Community School is to hold the Team Racing Worlds in Sept. 2011.
Richard Bruton, Commodore of DITSC, says he is 'looking forward to this event' and says 'it's great to be heading back to Schull because it truly is one of the best venues for Team Racing in Ireland.'
Its looking as if its set to be a big weekend for the teams both on and off the water with moderate breeze forecasted and with plenty of places to frequent come evening time
