Who Will Be July's Sailor of the Month?

4th August 2011

What a month! The judges are making up their minds for July's Sailor of the Month Award to be made at the weekend. Who would they have in mind? We can think of Anthony O'Leary who was just one point shy of scooping the British IRC1 title. Glen Cahill's 'Joie de Vie' of Galway won the IRC 1 division of WIORA. Irish champ Martin Byrne gave the home Dragon scene a major shot in the arm by winning a tight three-way battle for the Edinburgh Cup in the final race of the British Nationals. Peter McCann of Royal Cork Yacht Club ended the 12 races Optimist Europeans in Seventh overall. Ken Lawless in Supernova won the Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta. Who have you got in mind? Lets us know via our Facebook page or in the comments box below!
