Big Breeze For Day 3 Of Winter League

The three-way points tie in the O’Leary Insurances Winter League was broken in last weekend’s third race by league debutantes Colman Garvey and Kieran Kelleher sailing their new Quarter Tonner Diamond.

Garvey and Kelleher lead on IRC by five points from Dave Lane’s J/24 ‘Ya Gotta Wanna’, (the overall winner of the club’s Autumn Series), who stays second after more breeze for the third race in the league.

Four points further back is Richard Leonard’s Bolero, Bandit. Scroll down for a photo gallery by Bob Bateman

The league is being held ‘all-in’ and under ‘White Sails’ only for the first time.

Yesterday marked the launch of Nick Walsh’s new 1720 sportsboat, Breaking Bad, videoed going downwind (below) in her first race racing alongside Anthony O’Leary’s custom 1720 Antix Beag.

On the water, the Tingle Family’s new X-4 Alpaca led the harbour race that featured Corkbeg buoy and a finish at Cage.
