A recurring case of tonsillitis rules out Howth Yacht Club Laser ace Aoife Hopkins from this week's Princess Sofia regatta in Palma.
"I'm really gutted to have to announce that I will not be competing", Hopkins told Afloat.
Over the last three weeks Hopkins says she hasn't been able to recover in time to either train or race.
"This has been incredibly frustrating as Palma was where I was looking forward to putting winter training to the test and applying the lessons learned in Miami".
Hopkins expects to contest the Senior Europeans in May.
