Durcan and Fagan Are Optimist Munster Winners

optiimist – A terrific turnout at the 2012 Optimist Munster Championships in Crosshaven at the weekend saw RCYC's Harry Durcan take the Senior Gold title, with Junior Gold going to the National YC's Peter Fagan.

Day 1 saw the fleet sail outside Roche's Point, with the 420 Munster Championships racing the same course as the Optimist fleet. Stronger winds on day 2 brought the fleet inside the harbour, but the weather remained fine over the weekend and 6 races were sailed in both Junior and Senior fleets.

RCYC's Luke Horgan took the Senior Silver title, and Michael Carroll of KYC was Junior Silver champion.
