Lynch is Top Topper in Carlingford

12th July 2010

A fleet of 66 Toppers took to the waters of Carlingford Lough for their National Championships ten days ago, with Blessington sailor Finn Lynch taking control of the series to count nothing but podium finishes on his way to the national title.

In the 4.2 rig fleet, Strngford sailor Peter Gilmore burst out of the traps with four straight bullets in the first four races of the series giving him an unassailable lead.

Lynch's top challenger in the 58-boat full rig fleet was Robbie Robinson from Plymouth, who posted two bullets but couldn't match the consistency of Lynch.

The results (slightly confusing due to mixed classes) are HERE.
