Royal Cork Admiral, Paddy McGlade, was on hand to present them with mementos from the Club to mark their selection and to give a few words of praise for their achievements to date and give encouragement for their performances in these prestigious events. Robert Bateman was there to record the event in pictures.

The Optimist Ulster Championships took place at the weekend on the 26th and 27th of June at Ballyholme Yacht Club on the North East of Belfast Lough.
Patrick Crosbie took the Senior title with a solid performance on 12 points, in an event that was to have it's own share of drama coupled with a nail biting conclusion, when, even down to the last race, any one of a number of sailors were still in contention.
Daire Cournane of RCYC/KYC won his fourth provincial Junior title this season. It is understood that, subject to verification, he may be the first Junior sailor to have achieved this marvellous feat of winning all four provincial titles in the one season. He won the Ulster title with an extraordinary 6 bullets and in the process discarded a 1st.
