Competitors at the Topaz dinghy National Championships at Dungarvan Sailing Club
The Topaz dinghy National Championships were held in Dungarvan Sailing Clublub in County Waterford on Saturday, August 20 with sailors from around the country competing in this annual junior sailing event.
Breezy conditions of 18-21 knots presented a solid challenge for the sailors who managed to complete all five races.
Adam Byrne from Dingle Sailing Club won four out of the five races securing the 2017 National Topaz title.
