The Autumn League will resume at the Royal Cork Yacht Club in Crosshaven on Sunday, after cancellation last week due to weather conditions, but First Gun will be an hour earlier.
Fog was a particular problem last weekend, wind conditions were about acceptable, but, for safety reasons, the decision to cancel was taken.
“We have been watching the weather this weekend and see an opportunity with an earlier start for a weather window, so the start is being moved forward by an hour,” the club has announced. An Amendment to this effect has been posted on the league sailing instructions.
After the first day of racing on Sunday, October 2, Saxon Senator leads IRC Spinnaker 1, and Swuzzlebubble is Division 2 Spinnaker leader.
Prince of Tides leads Whitesails IRC 1. Apache tops Division 2 Whitesails. T-Bone is the 1720 leader.
Under ECHO handicap, Alpaca (Paul and Deirdre Tingle) leads Class 1 Spinnakers. Swuzzlebubble tops Class 2. Elegance (Paul O’Shea) leads Whitesails 1, and Loch Greine is top in Whitesails 2.
