France clean sweep in Nations Cup

THE IRISH EXAMINER media sponsored ISAF Nations Cup reached the grand final climax on Saturday as France clinched the double in both the open and women’s events.

Arriving with Claire Leroy ranked world number one and Mathieu Richard number six, they held tough against the other top ranking sailors in both events.

Conditions on the day were ideal with a steady 15 knot breeze from the south-east and sunshine setting the scene for the semi-finals and final.
