Waterford Youth Sailor Powers Through to Topper Victory at County Antrim Yacht Club

7th July 2015

#topper – Inspite of a strong UK sailing team presence to swell the national championship fleet, Waterford Harbour's Geoff Power outwitted a fleet of 64 to win the Irish Topper dinghy title at County Antrim Yacht Club. The Dunmore East sailor finished with a score of 1 2 1 1 4 1 2 9 to beat Starcross's Eleanor Poole.

Third was another UK sailor Samuel Cooper from West Lancashire Yacht Club. Full results are downloadable below.

The national title win follows Power's win of the Ballyholme Topper Traveller series in May.

The last day of racing made even more special at the Whitehead venue with an appearance by the Red Arrows display team that flew overhead to celebrate the Tall Ships at nearby Belfast.

A large Royal Cork team made the long trip north and returned home with some encouraging results including Tom Keal fourth overall, Cian Jones sixth overall & first under 17. Caoimhe Foster seventh over all and first Irish Lady.
