10 & 11th April at Inniscarra Co. Cork

 

Kindly Sponsored by Windward RC Covers & Spindrift Sails

 

11 skippers came to race in Inniscarra at our 2010 National IOM championships but only one could go home with the Trophy.

 

Saturday started with a gentle breeze coming from an excellent direction as we could lay the course pretty much parallel to the shore, thus helping the helming and tactics. 16 races were completed by the end of the day. But already someone started to emerge from the pack...

 

Sunday was probably our first real summer day - Sea or (lake in this case !!!), Sun and Wind ? Well the few gentle patches of wind passing through were occasionally filling our sails for a short time but then it was a bit of drifting game... Until an easterly breeze established and we got started again but with only enough time for 2 races - So did these 2 races changed anything to the overall ranking ?
