Curly Morris of East Antrim Boat Club in Larne has been elected as President of the International GP14 Class.

The Class AGM held in Abersoch last night voted for the GP14 Ireland stalwart during its 2019 national championships, a year that also saw a special birthday celebration regatta to mark Curly's 75th at Skerries.

Over the years, Olympian Curly Morris has given international service as a member of World Sailing’s Classes Committee, thanks to his direct and beneficial experience of the exceptionally lively GP 14 National Association here.
