Optimist Leinsters a Great Success for National Yacht Club Despite the Weather

It was a clean sweep for Royal Cork Yacht Club junior sailors at the Optimist Leinster Dinghy Championships at the National Yacht Club last weekend.

Justin Lucas won the Merrion Private sponsored event where 139–sailors registered including 29 from the host club. Lucas's clubmates Harry Twomey and Harry Pritchard finished second and third respectively.

There were very challenging windy conditions over the entire weekend, as reported in Afloat.ie, but despite this, five races took place over both days. Race Officer for the main fleet was Con Murphy and Paddy Judge officiated for the regatta fleet. Results are here
