Match Racing Season Concludes

27th October 2009
Match Racing Season Concludes

12 teams from round the country, selected from 24 entries on the basis of ISAF ranking, raced off for the title of ISA National Match Racing Champion at the weekend. Kinsale Yacht Club hosted two days of racing with some of Ireland's best small keelboat racers competing in the final event of the year. The nationals also formed the Match Racing Tour of Ireland Grand Final with double points at stake.  Results will be posted here later. The weather was miserable but that did not stop Afloat's Bob Bateman capturing yesterday's action over the fold:
