#optimist – Sailing conditions improved in the Dominican Republic for the penultimate day's racing in the Optimist World Championships and with it came a great day's racing for the Irish team, with 12-year old Harry Durcan taking a bullet, Harry Whitaker continuing his run of great results with a third and a second, placing him in tenth position. The entire Irish team is now comfortably in the top half of the world championships, with Harry Whitaker tenth, Douglas Elmes 44th, Megan Parker 78th, Sophie Browne 91st and Harry Durcan 101st.
