Stoppages in Catalonia after independence poll violence has affected the Laser European Championships in Barcelona today.
Irish sailors, including Aoife Hopkins, who won the U21 Euro title in July, competing at the event are staying about eight km from the centre of Barcelona.
Hopkins, who was delayed getting to the venue because of a cancelled Ryanair flight, took to social media 'to let everyone know, the Irish sailors are all safe and well'.
Hopkins along with Aisling Keller and Sally Bell will compete in the womens's Radial division when racing resumes tomorrow.
Finn Lynch and Ewan McMahon are slated for the mens standard class competition.
