Congratulations to Finbarr O'Regan and his J/109 crew that won Class Zero and One IRC overall in the Axiom Private Clients Race at Kinsale Yacht Club on Saturday.
Finnbar was using a brand new UK Sailmakers Ireland headsail to our latest design along with his existing sails from other sailmakers.
The J109 sail set-up has evolved significantly over the past fourteen years. The most visible change has been the shift to a non-overlapping jib setup for optimum IRC performance. This shift in sail plan has a significant effect on the boat’s light air performance due to the headsail area reduction.
Artful Dodger was followed closely by Stephen Lysaght in his Elan 333 Reavra Two using a full UK Sail inventory.
With a one-two this April in Kinsale, we are looking forward to more success this season!
