Speed Sailing Underway

6th November 2009
Speed Sailing Underway
Action from Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, and good conditions on Wednesday (4th October) saw some racing but – as is the way of these things – the wind died down before the windsurfers got a result. Thursday was more of the same with not enough wind to tempt anyone off the beach. However, we've got some great pics over the fold.
