Royal Cork Team Racers Lead Elmo Trophy After 72 Races Sailed at Dun Laoghaire Harbour

29th August 2021

The Elmo Trophy is being raced in Firefly dinghies at Dun Laoghaire Harbour

The 108 team racers came ashore on Saturday after champagne sailing conditions saw the Royal Cork team emerge unbeaten after Day one of the Elmo Trophy at the Royal St. George Yacht Club.

Race officer Conal Casey and his team completed Round 1, and are now halfway through the Gold Silver Bronze round.

Teams enjoyed the event dinner where more sunshine ensured the outdoor seating wasn't a washout!

The home club, RSGYC features prominently with many teams in the Gold league and will be hoping to knock RCYC off their perch.
