This year the Crosbie Cup was opened to the Gold and Silver Fleet Sailors. 5 NYC Optimist Sailors made the trip to Fenit and competed in the fun event held by Tralee Bay Sailing Club. 
All 5 of the NYC sailors achieved top 10 positions with Sam Ledoux in 1st place overall.  Sam also won the TBSC Regatta.  Clementine Van Steenberge 3rd, Fiachra McDonnell 4th and Lauren O Callaghan 10th in the seniors.  Caoilinn McDonnell was 4th junior (14th overall). 
Next regatta for our Optimist Fleet is the Irish National Open Championships which are being held in HYC, 15th to 18th August.   We wish all of our NYC Optimist sailors the very best of luck.  Sail fast and have fun.

Last week we saw many Irish Optimist sailors compete in the Volvo Gill Optimist British Nationals and Open Championships held in Weymouth.  5 NYC Optimist sailors participated in a challenging and fun filled 6 day event.  
Luke Turvy and Fiachra McDonnell were amongst the top 10 senior sailors in Gold Fleet.  Both sailors with many bullets throughout the event.   Luke Turvy 8th, Fiachra McDonnell 9th and Lauren O Callaghan 50th overall in senior Gold Fleet.

Ava Ennis and Caoilinn McDonnell joined the IODAI Under 12s squad competing in junior fleet.  Caoilinn McDonnell 50th junior gold and Ava Ennis 4th junior silver.  Ava Ennis also had many top 10s including a bullet on the last day.  Many congratulations to all our NYC Optimist sailors keep up the great work.
