Our sailors did us proud with Natasha Hemeryck leading the pack, coming 5th after the first days sailing and moving up to Second place to take the Under 17's Trophy on day two. Hugh O'Connor had a steady race coming 8th overall as did Eoghan Turner who finished 10th overall.

A huge congratulations to all our sailors and to Natasha and Caoimhe our trophy winners.
