Women On The Water Race

The first of this year's Women On The Water race events was held Fri 2nd of June in blustery conditions at Galway Bay Sailing Club. With wind speeds averaging 18 knots the conditions proved testing for the competitors many of whom had never sailed a Topaz dinghy before. Although eight adventurous sailors signed-on to take out the six boat fleet we had a number of withdrawals before racing started and only four boats made it to the start line.Fiona O'Driscoll & Helen O'FlahertyMarina Lupton &
