Fiachra & Caoilinn Geraghty-McDonnell of Royal St George YC in Dun Laoghaire are Sailors of the Month (Junior) for September

1st October 2022

The David Harte-developed West Cork-built TR 3.6 Class at Schull proved ideal for the National Junior Title

Although it will be Fiachra Geraghty-McDonnell’s name on the main trophy in the Junior Helms Nationals 2022, winning it was a family team effort, as his sister Caoilinn – a proven Optimist star – forsook her own place as of right as a junior helm, and elected to crew for her brother instead.

In a long and demanding series, their underlying quality of performance led to a steadily upward curve of results to make Fiachra the Junior National Champion 2022 at Schull, coming tops against a formidable line-up of established and rising talent from every main sailing centre in the country.
