Cork's Eamon Rohan has the upper hand, 3.5 points clear of Dave Dwyer's Marinercove.ie on 15 points in tomorrow's last races of the O'Flynn Exhams October league in Cork Harbour. His superbly turned-out Blondie leads class zero, and is already wound up to Commodore’s Cup level. Her crew include three visiting UK sailors who raced the boat in Cowes two years ago, including Mark Richmond, helmsman, professional Neil Mackley of North Sails and Ben Field. An Irish Times article on how the event has produced a blue print for the 2010 Irirsh Commodore's Cup team is here. A forum thread here is asking how the teams will form? And we're polling who will win ICRA's boat of the year? Here.
