GP14 Class at Papercourt

GP14s in club race March 2009
The GP14 has supplied the first 7 commodores of Papercourt Sailing Club

The GP14 can be a low cost entry to crewed sailing and racing, may be sailed single-handedly in lighter winds and is currently enjoying a revival.

The PSC Fleet now comprises of about 30 owned boats and 4 in the training fleet. The boats vary from older basic wooden versions to the most modern boats available.

Messing about on the water or racing, the spinnaker adds interest and the predominantly North/South winds at Papercourt favour the traditional spinnaker arrangement over the asymmetric.

The GP14 has been a “club recognised” class since the beginnings of PSC in the early 1960’s and supplied the first 7 Commodores of the club.

There has been an annual open meeting for the class since 1963 which has attracted visitors from far parts of the country.
