It is a perfect scoreline of two firsts for Nigel Biggs and his Checkmate XVIII crew in IRC2 after the first day of the ICRA National Championships on Dublin Bay.
The three competing Half Tonners made hay in the light and tricky conditions that prevailed for the two races and now occupy the top three places in the 17-boat fleet.
David Kelly's King One from Howth Yacht Club is lying second on a 3,2 with clubmate Mata (Darren Wright) counting a 2,3.
Completing a clean sweep for Howth Yacht Club of the top five, J97s take the next three places overall with HYC's Lambay Rules in fourth and Jeneral Lee fifth. Royal St. George's J97 Windjammer (Lindsay Casey) is in sixth place.
Results are here. Racing continues over the weekend.
