A great start to the season for Ian Roche who was first over the line in both races with a comfortable margin. He had to concede Race 1 to Paul and Finbar Bradley on handicap but he left no doubt in Race 2. Terry Rafferty and Michael McKevitt nearly upset the established order in Race 1 with a sterling performance but came to grief rounding the last mark (or rather not rounding the last mark!). John White had a Titanic sail on his own in the Bahia, thankfully he didn’t sink.
In the B Fleet, Trudy O’Hare took 1st place in Race 1 and 3rd in Race 2 to leave her in pole position overall. Kate MacAdorey Took 4th in Race 1 and 1st in Race 2 to leave her in second place overall. Rachel McKay and Matthew Collins sailed well to take a 2nd place in Race 1 and Race 2 respectively.
Junior Squad at ISA Youth Nationals
Sailing in a fleet of 320 boats from all over the world, Junior Squad sailors gave a great account of themselves in very testing conditions, on Friday light winds of 5-8 knots, Saturday 20-25 knots, very choppy sea, a lot of broken boats & broken wills! Sunday 10-14 knots, beautiful conditions.
Results
Conor O'Farrell 4th overall, best race 3rd place, Anna McNulty 17th overall, best race 8th, Conor Quinn 18th overall, best race 12th, Stephen Finnegan 27th overall, best race 13th. Tom O'Hare 36th overall, best race 25th. In the very competitive Radial Fleet, Helen McParland sailed very consistently to finish 48th overall with a best result of 34th.
