Strangford 15-year-old Robbie Gilmore was the top Irish finisher at the 193-boat Europa Cup in Lake Garda at the weekend, one of 11 Irish boats in the Laser Radial fleet. The Irish contingent made a storming start, with Philip Doran clocking a win in the first race. The race now is to get home despite volcanic ash.
All airports are currently closed, meaning the Irish squad faces a long surface route journey home from Italy. But before you start feeling sympathetic, check out the video from last year's event (it's not the worst place to be stranded).
Results for the event are here.
