Ballyholme's RS Sailing Event Frustrated By Light Winds on Belfast Lough

24th August 2013

Two races were sailed today in predominantly light conditions at the combined RS Championships at Ballyholme Yacht Club. The race officer made a good call to postpone proceedings until Sunday when the afternoon breeze completely shut down.

1st E.Ryan J.Ryan R1(2) R2(1)
