The Laser Radial Youth World Championship at Kingston, Ontario in Canada was something special as Laser designer Bruce Kirby, the man who transformed the world’s solo dinghy sailing, is Canadian. But it was also something special for Eve McMahon of the renowned Howth sailing family, as she was simply flying. Although under 17, at one stage in the open racing she was headed for Silver in the open U19 division as well.
