Ireland's Laser Radial sailors are making impressive headway in a huge Laser Radial fleet at the Warnemunde Woche regatta in Germany.

Rory Lynch has kept his head and posted two top five results so far to sit just inside the top ten in ninth overall, in the 144-boat fleet. Lynch could soon be joined by Courtown sailor Philip Doran who has posted similar results but is currently hampered by a black flag and is hanging on in 17th. Ross Vaughan is eight places further back and makes up the top three Irish sailors at this stage.

In the 66-boat Laser 4.7 fleet, Leo Hickey is the top Irish boat in 12th with Stephen Duke following in 33rd.

Racing continues today. The event website is HERE, with results hard to find, but HERE

Bangor Town Regatta 2021

It’s expected that the fleet will number upwards of 60 with several hundred crew and supporting visitors for the 2021 Regatta.

Among the classes expected are IRC, Sigma 33, RS Elite, and day boats such as Waverleys and Fairies.

The Regatta Chairman is Gavin Watson and Royal Ulster Yacht Club is the organising club for what is Northern Ireland's biggest inshore yacht racing event.

Feeder races from Dun Laoghaire and Scotland are planned.

The Bangor Town Regatta fleet will race out of the Bangor Marina, on what is Belfast Lough’s enviable area of virtually tide and hazard free waters.

Two round-the-buoys courses within a manageable distance from the marina will provide testing but enjoyable racing and in addition, coastal races every day will give those who prefer
somewhat more leisurely competition, the opportunity to use the whole of the Lough.

Racing will be in the capable hands of International Race Officer and National Judge, local man Robin Gray.

The Race Office will be located at the Marina close to where the après sailing will be well catered for.
