Just the ticket for Coveney as Wavetrain takes victory in Autumn series

THE HM Yachts Autumn series continued at RCYC. In a brisk north westerly breeze Race Officer Roy Hanan (Plumbat) and his team opted for course 74.

In 15kts of wind, with gust of up to 20kts, the fleets beat up to No 8 before reaching across to No 9 and then across the Spit Bank to No 20 where the lightening breeze veered northerly giving the boats a run down to Corkbeg from No 13 before picking up for a fetch to Cage.

IRC Class 1 went to Simon Coveney’s Wavetrain with Frank Doyle’s Endgame second and Martin Darrer and Coleman Garvey’s True Pennance third. In Echo Endgame pipped Wavetrain with Wan and Eric Waterman’s Saxon Senator in third. Class 2 was hotly contested with IRC going to Ted Crosbie’s No Excuse with Kieran and Liz O’Brien’s Magnet second and the Desmond, Deasy, Ivers Bad Company third.
