On the last Saturday in August, it was the turn of the Juniors of Carlingford Lough Yacht Club to race in their own regatta, along with visitors from across the Lough at Carlingford Sailing Club.

Carlingford Lough YC is situated on the north shore of the Lough at Killowen in Co Down at the foot of the Mourne Mountains and CSC is in Carlingford town on the south side in County Louth with a backdrop of Slieve Foye.

Conditions were kind to the 15 strong fleet with sunshine.

The top three in the prize list of the Junior fleet were all ILCA 6s, with first David Fegan, second Maya O’Neill and third Fiachra McCormick. In the Novice division, it was Jack Ives first and Emma Gibbons second in Toppers.
