Written by Claire Bateman

Sunlight and Shadow and Hills and Dales on Day 3 of Cork Week Racing
Written by Claire Bateman   

The action was fast and furious during Races 5 and 6 at todays racing.  15-18 knots of  a southerly breeze with wind over tide created a huge swell and the resultant descent into troughs cannot have done any good for the stomachs of the competitors.

Change of weather conditions for racing today
Written by Claire Bateman   

Today marked quite a change in conditions from Monday.  However, the high winds forecast to arrive didn’t materialise and racing took place in all classes in force 4 to 5 knots occasionally 7 to 8 in a southwesterly breeze.  Your scribe was today watching the “biggies” in SZ and One. Fortunes ebbed and flowed and one is getting a sense of a pattern emerging in all classes.

Junior Optimist Sailor Daire Cournane beats all comers in Helsinki!
Written by Michael McCann   

Daire Cournane continued his successful season by winning the Helsinki Regatta last weekend from a fleet of 100 other sailors from Finland, Germany, Russia and Denmark. He scored an impressive two bullets and two 4ths to take the title. The complete results are available here.

This was all the more remarkable because Daire is still a Junior (under 12). Daire has already won the four Junior Irish regional championships, hardly losing a race.
