High winds halt race but ladies turn up the heat

HIGH winds and high rollers dominated the fifth day of Cork Week 2010 at Crosshaven yesterday, with as much excitement on land as offshore.

Event chairman Peter Deasy said that while high winds forced the cancellation in the morning of a white sail race, every competitor was assured of getting out on the water.

“That’s the beauty of holding this event in the harbour of Cork. It means no-one loses out.”
