The continuing vitality of Irish yacht clubs competing at the Youth Sailing National Championships at Howth Yacht Club is reflected in the fact that some club acronyms overlap, consequently in previous reports of the Topper racing, we had Cormac Byrne of SSC & BYC down as being from Skerries as it's a real nest of Byrnes up there in North Fingal. But we've been gracefully put right with the news that SSC in this case, is Strangford Sailing Club while BYC (which might well have been Boyne Yacht Club) is the great dinghy stronghold of Ballyholme.
All of which is a roundabout way of saying that the Belfast Lough club has dominated the Toppers, with Ballyholme's Tom Driscoll (he also lists Royal North of Ireland YC) retaining his overall lead on 11 pts to Cormac Byrne's 13 in second, with yet another double-clubber - Caoimhe Corkery of Royal Cork and Kinsale - finishing third on 19pts.
