GP14 sailor Peter Boyle of Sutton Dinghy Club has a real problem. His father Stephen who regularly crews with him is also one of the most sought-after crews in all Irish sailing. Thus if Boyle Jnr is unable to take on some major event, he can be quite sure Boyle Snr is going to be there, working his magic for someone else. And it’s not just limited to dinghies. Currently in the Dun Laoghaire Flying Fifteen fleet, Stephen Boyle is trying a new tack with regular alternative helm Sean Craig, and they’re winning here too.
