The event will be kindly sponsored by Euro Car Parks. The Junior & Girl's competition will take place in the single handed Olympic class Laser Radial dinghy.
This year’s championship will see Annalise Murphy returning to defend her title (2007 Girl's Champion). After a year of very successful international competitions one can expect a strong performance from Annalise to defend this title. Annalise was 5th in this year’s Laser Radial Youth Worlds.
2007 Junior All Ireland Sailing Champion, Chris Penney, a member of the ISA Youth Academy will also be keen to defend his title however with great depth throughout the fleet he will have much to contend with. One of which will be Ben Lynch who achieved a top ten placing in the ISAF Youth Worlds this year.
With nine strong girl competitors the boys should not expect plain sailing as the girls sail within the Junior fleet and can also win the Junior Title.
The Junior & Girls sailing competition begins Saturday morning while the seniors’ fleet will commence on Friday in the J80 SailFleet boats.
