There were perfect sailing conditions for the first-ever Mermaid National Championships at Royal Cork Yacht Club this afternoon.
After an upsetting start to the championships this morning, three races were completed in flat water and great Cork Harbour breezes.
Overall, defending champion Darragh McCormack of Foynes leads on 7 points from Mark Boylan by .5 of a point. In third place is Patrick Dillon on 11 points in the 22-boat fleet.
