The Royal St George is preparing for the biggest one-design event in Ireland this year, with more than 240 Optimists arriving today for the Mitsubishi Motors Irish National and Open Championships. An international fleet of 180 boats will slug it out for the senior titles, while more than 60 will compete in the regatta fleet.
Entries from Australia, India, the US and UK, added to the Irish contingent, make this a truly cosmopolitan affair.
All event news and race documents are available on the dedicated event website, here.
Racing gets underway tomorrow, with measurement and registration taking place today.
