Irish Paralympic Sailors Stay Tenth in Weymouth

#paralympic – Irish paralympic sailor John Twomey and his crew placed 10th in Race 5 and 10th in Race 6 in a difficult day afloat in Weymouth today.

The Irish crew finished Day 3 maintaining their position of 10th overall with a further five races left to sail.

The scheduled morning racing had to be postponed for several hours as Portland Harbour was flat calm. Racing finally began for the Sonar class at 2pm in 7 knots of breeze.
