The harbour fleet saw 21 sailors battling in two fleets under the leadership of Race officer Chris Moore. 3 races were completed in a lovely 8-10 kts North Easterly breeze.

The RstGYC took all 3 podium spots with Louis Tricket freshly returned from France were he competed at the French summer cup on top, just about edging out Ava Molloy and Ruairi Slattery. The RS Feva was equally competitive with 8 partnerships battling for Gold. Cian Farrell and Alex Hoban from the RstGYC took the win ahead of RIYC Harvey Bellamey and Rupert Ward. Stephanie Rock and Zoe O Hare completed the podium.
The ILCA fleet was dominated by Holly Cantwell freshly returning from the Optimist world championship showing no trouble progressing into the more powerful boat. RIYC Roan Keane just about edged out NYC Liam Beirne for silver.
Finally the PY fleet showed a good mix of dinghies.
It was to be the 29ers making the most of the conditions with George Julian O Leary and Dillon Kennedy edging out club mates Dan Moran and Jamie Keegan. The podium was completed by NYC Dylan Hall sailing his Topper.
