After five races sailed at the Moth National Championships at the National Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire this weekend, UK visitor Ross Harvey leads the host club's own Rory Fitzpatrick for overall honours but only by a single point.

So far the 2017 Irish Moth Nationals has included a Race 'Round Dalky [sic] Island for a bit of fun!', beautifully captured by Beau Outteridge Productions below:

The fledgling Irish fleet has been boosted a number of international visitors for the weekend but not, unfortunately, the much–hyped Australian Olympic gold medalist Nathan Outteridge, who is not competing after all.
