With three race wins on their scoresheet, Royal Cork Yacht Club and National Yacht Club's Ben O’Shaughnessy and Ethan Spain claimed the Mervue Laboratories 2022 29'er Irish National Championships with a 12-point win margin.
After eight races sailed at the Royal St. George Yacht Club-hosted event, Johnny Flynn and Max Goodbody were second overall on 24 points.
Third on the Dublin Bay race track were female/male combination Emily Conan and Ollie Mears of the host club, who won Sunday's penultimate race and finished on 28 points.
Lucia Cullen (Royal St George YC) and Alana Twomey (Royal Cork YC), who won Gold and took the U17 29er Female World Title in Spain earlier this month, were top female pair in fourth overall.
The 14-boat fleet competed under Race Officer Barry O'Neill.
The three-day event saw the scheduled four races completed on Friday in testing conditions with the wind in the late teens gusting into the 20s.
As Afloat reported earlier, the top ten handled the conditions perfectly, and while there were a few capsizes, the racing was close and seriously competitive at the top end.
With winds gusting into the 30s and showing no sign of abating, Saturday's racing was a write-off.
Sunday saw two or three attempts to start the first race of the day in a 6 knot westerly in the middle west of the bay.
Each time the wind went right when the fleet was in the start sequence, so this ended in postponement rather than a start.
The wind then shut off completely. After about 15 minutes, there was some sign of a breeze around Dublin Bay's East mark, and the fleet and committee boat moved east.
After a short delay, the first race of the day got away in a gentle 7-knot North Easterly breeze.
The wind continued to go right and strengthened all afternoon, ending up with the last two races completed in a steady 14 knots with gusts.
The scheduled four races were completed on Sunday, so eight of the scheduled races were completed over the three days
