A dinghy sailing polymath like Sean Craig of the Royal St George YC tends to see his achievements spread over all the months of the sailing season. Back in May, he became top Grand Master in the ILCA Masters Ireland championship at Howth. Then in August he piled it on, taking ninth in the international fleet of 85 boats at the GP 14 Worlds at Pwllheli in Wales, crewed by Stephen Boyle of Sutton DC. Back again in Dun Laoghaire, he continued his regular racing with the Water Wags, and was declared 2024 Water Wag Champion before August was out.
