Slow Start for 49ers in Poland

Slow Start for 49ers in Poland

Ireland's 49er crews have a long way to go if they are to qualify for the gold fleet in the European Championships, being held in Gdynia, Poland.

Olympic campaigners Ryan Seaton and Matt McGovern are top Irish at the moment, but in 52nd of 82 boats, they are still some way off the gold standard, with just 25 boats going through into the gold fleet.

Class chairman Marcus Spillane, sailing with Amish Ved, is in 67th, with Ed Butler and Ben Lynch in 78th overall.

Results are HERE.
