Defending J80 Irish champion Pat O'Neill, sailing Mojo from Howth, successfully defended his title in a six-boat J80 national championship fleet with four wins after six races sailed on Sunday at the J Cup Regatta at the Royal Irish Yacht Club on Dublin Bay.

Austin Kenny's Ram Jam from the RIYC finished second on 12 points, while Owen Laverty's Red Cloud from the Royal St George was third on 14.

Conditions were light, with winds up to ten knots from the northeast on Saturday and a stronger 300-degree wind in the late teens on Sunday.
