The Wicklow J24 crew of Conor Haughton, Jonny Flood, Charles Heather and Garrett Kinnane beat defending IRC champion Quarter Tonner Snoopy for overall honours in IRC Class Three on Sunday (September 1) at the Unio ICRA National Championships at the Royal Irish Yacht Club on Dublin Bay.
Just one race of a maximum of two was possible on Course A on Sunday and while the Jupiter crew posted their worst result of the championship (a fifth) in a fitful southerly breeze rarely above five knots and Snoopy took the gun, the J24 crew took the win by a single point after six races sailed in the championships since Friday.
Paul Prentice's Sigma 33 Squawk finished third on 16 points.
Under the ECHO handicap, Jupiter won again from Stephen Mullaney's Sigma Insider. The First Class 8 Allig8r (Twomey, Foley, Hennessy, Ryan, O’Buachalla, Levins).
