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 ?
