The weather gods were not shining for the final series of races of the Kinsale YC Spring Series.

Easter Monday dawned overcast and breezy for the second week of the KYC Spring Series.

AFTER a morning of gale force winds and torrential rain, racing finally got under way at Kinsale and the third race of the Kevin O’Leary Nissan April League turned out a great one.

WHITE horses abounded the outer harbour and some gusts reached forty knots during an exciting and sometimes tough final race of the Southmoor Properties March League at Kinsale Yacht Club.

GLORIOUS autumnal conditions favoured the Royal Cork Offshore Day and, in a light to moderate south easterly breeze Class One sailed around the Cork Buoy, down to the Bullman Buoy off Kinsale and back to the finish at Roches Point.
