#SYWoC - The team from University College Dublin have place third in this year's Student Yachting World Cup.
Ryan Glynn (skipper), Ronan Jones, Colin O’Mahoney, Cliodhna Conolly, Cian Cahill and Emma Reidy beat such noble institutions as Cambridge and Oxford to the bronze position, behind the University of Southampton and SYWoC winners from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne in Switzerland.
As previously reported on Afloat.ie, it was UCD's fourth participation in the week-long racing event, where they previously lifted the cup in 2012.
Sailors from Trinity College Dublin – also previous cup winners, in 2006 – were also competing but failed to make the top 10.
