#laserulsters – Royal Cork's Nick Walsh was the winner of the Ulster Laser Championships staged by Lough Erne Yacht Club in the last weekend of April. The three rig event provided racing for 4.7s, radials and full rigs. After six races over the two days in light and fickle conditions (with the odd 20knt squall thrown in for good measure) Royal Cork's Richard McGinley was crowned Ulster 4.7 Champion with three firsts, a second and sixth (discarding an OCS). Clubmate Nick Walsh was also crowned Ulster Champion in the Standard Rig with five firsts and a second. The radial title also went to the south coast with Ciaran Finnegan of Waterford Harbour Sailing Club winning by four clear points from Strangford Lough's Laura Gilmore. Full results are downloadable below as a pdf file.
