European Youth Championships in Ireland

Two of our youth members, Healy Ryan and Ed Alexander, have just finished competing at the ILCA 6 Youth European Championships & Open European Trophy in Bangor, Northern Ireland. A hot fleet of 250 boats competed in the regatta.
It is extremely exciting to announce that Healy Ryan won the Under 17 category and was second overall in the Championship, just 11 points behind Poland's Jacek Kalinowski who was the eventual winner. A number of our members were following the WhatsApp updates from Healy's father, Craig. The messages were very entertaining and as the regatta progressed it became evident that Craig was understandably more excited and nervous than Healy!

Ed Alexander also achieved a fantastic result at the regatta, finishing 50th in the Silver fleet. As Healy and Ed would attest, there are no slouches at the Euro Championships, so in a fleet of 250 boats, these are amazing results.
We look forward to a first-hand account from Healy, Ed and Craig in our newsletter next week.
