Tiger has prosperous day as Autumn League Series attracts 1,000 sailors

MORE than 1,000 sailors took to the water at Crosshaven on a mild and sunny autumn weekend, three-quarters of them competing in the opening session of the O’Flynn Exhams Autumn League Series from the RCYC.

The fleet included visitors from Waterford, Kinsale, Cobh, Baltimore and Dungarvan.

There were two fleets, one racing on a windward-leeward course on the eastern bank running from Cuskinny to Aghada, the other on a harbour course. The wind, however, was fickle, going up and down in strength and changing direction.
