The GP fleet returned to Donaghadee for the 2018 Ulster Championships on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
The OOD Ruan O’Tiarnaigh got the first race off at 12pm in a moderate breeze. Ger Owens with his crew Damien Bracken dominated the first two races with two bullets after the McGuiness brothers, first home in race 2 were deemed OCS.
Race three was won by the current world champions Shane McCarthy & Andy Davis.
After an hour postponement on Sunday morning a nice strong breeze filled in. Keith Louden & Alan Thompson started at the pin on port and crossed the fleet and after a hard battle with Shane & Andy, took the win in race four.
Race five got underway with Shane & Andy showing their dominance in the strong breeze and led from the start to take the win.
After a general recall in race six, OOD Ruan O’Tiarnaigh eventually ran out of time and sent us home to the delight of many in the fleet.
Shane & Andy took the overall win with Ger & Damien in second and Keith & Alan in third.
The silver fleet honours went to Peter & Stephen Boyle with Josh Porter & Andrew Corkill taking second and Bill Johnson & James Hockley in third.
The bronze fleet honours went to Jack Buttimer & Adam McDonagh with Donaghadee’s James Ogg & Jennifer Bryce taking second and Michael Collender & Brian Walker in third.
Many thanks to Donaghadee Sailing Club for the great hospitality and a fantastic event and to Ruan for the great courses..
