Kieran and Brian Cranley had a turbulent sail last Wednesday
Matthew McNulty has been sailing extra well recently
Kieran and Ann Cranley took charge last Sunday for two excellent races in bright sunshine and a light breeze from the east. Safety boats manned by Chief Instructor Pat Dunbar looked after the biggest fleet for a while.
The A Fleet races were a close run affair between Rooney/McDonagh and the McLaughlins in the RS 400’s and Ian Roche in the Laser standard. The McLaughlins just managed to hold on to a narrow lead in both races leaving Roche and Rooney with a second and third place each.
In the B Fleet Stephen Finnegan continued his unbeaten run with two bullets, and Matthew McNulty took a great second in race one but had to settle for third in race 2 with newcomer Aislinn Fegan getting in the mix with a third and a second place. Meabh Monaghan was also sailing well in her first race this year and will soon no doubt be looking for a podium place. It was nice to see Karl and Ryan Hanlon also racing, so watch this space as all these new sailors improve.
Remember that the Orr Trophy for beginners every Tuesday night at 7 and Sailing Courses will be starting soon . See www.clyc.info for details.
