Club member, Sophie Browne, has just won a Silver Medal at the Optimist World Championship in Napier, New Zealand. Sophie was 13th overall and was only beaten by the overall World Champion, Kimberly Lin of Singapore.

This was no flash in the pan.

The full results and lots of other information available on the World …

Donagh Good and Kirsti O’Flynn will be taking the following for coaching on Sunday:

The cost is €10 per sailor per day. Please pay at the start of the day.

Remember because the sessions are short it is essential that sailors are rigged and ready to sail on time.
