The invitational regatta saw twenty one of Ireland’s top young sailors take to the water in TR3.6 dinghies for the initial five races. A further three more races may be sailed tomorrow (Sunday) followed by a double points medal race decider for the top ten sailors.
Conditions were perfect in Schull Harbour for the windward leeward course with an easterly breeze. The first race got off to a clean start at 11.40am that set the tone for a smooth day of sailing expertly managed by David Harte and his race team.
