Howth Yacht Club Laser Radial sailors share the top two places overall at the Investwise Youth Sailing Championships in Cork Harbour after six races sailed.
There was no surprise yesterday when the World Radial Youth Female champion Eve McMahon leapt to the front of the fleet, almost unchallenged in yesterday's opening three races.
The U18 champion continued her form to have a winning margin after today's race of seven points after six races sailed.
She proved consistent even in the tricky conditions and has a clean scoresheet except for two-second places scored in races three and four.
McMahon's clubmate Rocco Wright counted a race win, as did Michael Crosbie of the RCYC, level on points.
Racing on the Curlane Bank race area, close to Crosshaven, shifting winds eventually permitted three races to be completed.
