#Angling - Nigel Greene was the big winner at the World Cup Trout Fly Angling Championships on Lough Mask over the August Bank Holiday, as Derek Evans writes for The Irish Times.

The Fermanagh fly fisherman bested a field of more than 450 anglers at the 62nd hosting of the event, considered “the ultimate prize in trout angling”.

Greene’s final count total of seven fish with a weight of 9.772lb put him almost half a pound over his closest rival – despite Kanturk’s Michael Twohig catching one more fish.

About the J24 keelboat

American Rod Johnstone designed the J/24, a one-design boat, in the mid-1970s.

Since 1977, it has been manufactured and at present, at least 5,500 hulls have been constructed throughout the globe.

The J/24 has significantly contributed to the popularity of competitive sailing, and numerous internationally recognised racing personalities have won international J/24 championships.

This class still thrives and remains a favourite among owners and crews of all levels.
