A final race win secured the Irish Squib title for UK visitors Tom Jeffcoate and Mark Hogan at Lough Derg Yacht Club in County Tipperary on Sunday.

The Abersoch duo sailing number 136, Ric O'Shea, concluded the championship with 22 points, leapfrogging defending champions Michael O'Suilleabhain and Michael O'Sullivan of Kinsale Yacht Club (KYC), who had led after five races, on the final day.

Finishing third in the 42-boat fleet was the Royal North of Ireland's Dogwatch, sailed by Ross Kearney and Terry Rowan with 28 points. 

It's not the first time Jeffcoate and Hogan have lifted the Chris Hogan Memorial Trophy, either; the pair won three years ago when KYC hosted the championship.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
