Another At Home Regatta completed, with a great weekend of Racing and Fun back at the Club.
From a Keelboat perspective a big thank you goes out to our Race Committee, especially to Kevin Lane and Richard Leonard for three great races. Saturday was a breezy day with plenty of challenges throughout the courses. Sunday started off light and gradually built up over the day as forecast. Racing was very tight in the Spinnaker IRC Class with North Star (Fiona Young and family) and Don’t Dilly Dally (Michael McCann) tying on equal points after three races. North Star winning on countback. In the Spinnaker ECHO Class Ellida (Ria Lyden) had a comfortable win from North Star.
In the WhiteSail 1 Class Cavatina (Ian Hickey) had a clean sweep in winning IRC and ECHO divisions. Freya (Mike Rider) had a second overall in WhiteSail 1 ECHO and Magnet (Kieran O Brien) was second overall in IRC. Scribbler II (Tom McSweeney and Family) had a clear win in WhiteSail 2 ECHO with Clodagh (Rob Foster and Family) coming second overall. Congratulations to All.
