Burgess leaves O’Leary feeling blue

A CHANGE of pace saw standings across the 13 classes tighten into two distinct groups: the outright battles for first place in some, and clear favourites in others. Light winds are again expected today while there will be possible near-gale conditions tomorrow.

The switch from Harbour Course to more regular courses brought the J109 EuroCup fleet into closer contact yesterday, as the 18 boats sailed to Slalom races East of Roches Point.

Overnight leader Robert O’Leary and his mostly UCC Sailing Club crew on Robert Prower’s Jeroboam slipped slightly in the standings.
