Optimist Ulster Championships

What a super performance from the George sailors at the Optimist Ulster Championships in Howth this past weekend where over 140 sailors competed across 4 fleets. An incredible 35 (25%) of these 140 competitors were George sailors.

In Senior Main Gold Fleet, after 6 races, the George had a 1/2/3, with Jules Start, Caoilinn Geraghty-McDonnell & Conor Cronin, followed by Abigail Murphy and Marcus Shelley in 6^th and 7^th respectively. In Senior Main Silver Fleet, we had another George sailor, Jamie White in 2^nd place.

In Junior Main Gold Fleet, after 6 races, the George had another 1/2/3, with sisters Lily Donagh and Maeve Donagh 1^st and 2^nd place respectively and Finn Foley in 3^rd. In Junior Main Silver, we had yet another Donagh sister, Emily, in 1^st place and Ella Rock in 6^th. In Junior Bronze Fleet, Holly Cantwell was in 3^rd place, Tom Darcy in 7^th and James Crawford in 9^th.

In Regatta Racing Fleet, after 8 races, we had Oliver Ryan in 3^rd, Amy Shelley in 6^th and Louie Murphy in 7^th place overall.
