To Hunter the spoils

Scottish Series champ O’Malley is Sailor of the Month
If this summer promises a feast of events afloat then May was the haute cuisine hors d’oeuvre — so much so that we have picked out three Sailors of the Month. Finn Lynch fills the ‘Olympic’ category for securing his selection to Rio at the Laser Worlds just weeks after turning 20; we honour powerboater John Ryan for skippering Team Hibernia to a new Round Ireland record, and Westport ex-pat Dara O’Malley takes our general sailing award after claiming overall Scottish Series victory with his Hunter 707 crew.
Meanwhile, rising talent Ewan McMahon shows form for home waters Radial Worlds with Laser Europa Cup victory, Ireland’s Flying Fifteens will be going Dutch for their Euros, GP14 World champ Shane McCarthy & crew Damian Bracken claim Riocard O’Tiarnaigh trophy, and Lough Derg sailors vent frustration at barrier to WIORA racing.

Lost & found: Bowhead whale

Tune into Ryan and Matt show

We've got a favour to ask
