In the J24 Leinster championships at the Northern Trust J Cup at the Royal Irish Yacht Club on Sunday, Mikey Carroll's Kinsailor topped the eight-boat fleet on six points from recently crowned IRC Three ICRA champion Jupiter (Conor Haughton, Jonny Flood, Charles Heather, Garrett Kinnane) in second on 10.5.

Carroll's Kinsailor crew took four straight wins from six races sailed. 

David Bailey's 'Hard on Port' was third on 15.5.

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.
