Triple world Flying Fifteen champion Steve Goacher will sail in this afternoon's Irish national championships sponsored by Mitsubishi Motors. The Lake Windermere sailor is one of a number of visitors for the bumper championships that has attracted a fleet of 32–boats from eight different sailing centres to the National Yacht Club.
More on the event in this morning's Irish Times Sailing Column here.
The first race of the seven race series is on Dublin Bay this afternoon at 2pm but the big question this morning is how strong will forecasted weekend winds blow?
Be careful out there, some horrible weather is on the way http://t.co/4nzr6otADd Pic: @darkskyapp pic.twitter.com/51qTSWxikI
