15 years have passed since a small group of Cork and Dublin sailors met at the Granville Hotel in Waterford to establish the Irish Cruiser Racing Association. In the intervening years ICRA has had great success co-ordinating Irish yacht racing at home and abroad.

In recent years the demands on the association have changed. Irish Sailing too has begun to look to the association to take on a broader role. The association is responding to these changing needs through a refreshed 5 year plan.

Today we share a vision, values, mission and goals grounded in who we are and the focus required of a class association intent on delivering on the core needs of its members.
