Murphy shines at Weymouth

IRISH boats were on a high last night in Weymouth following the third day of racing at the London 2012 Olympic sailing venue.

Annalise Murphy leads her class overall after two race wins yesterday while veterans Peter O’Leary and David Burrows hold fourth place in company with multiple gold medallists and champions.

O’Leary is also a gold medallist, having won the Star class at this event sailed last August, when German Frithjof Kleen was a late stand-in for David Burrows.
