O’Callaghan and Seaton end campaign on a high

IRELAND’S 49er skiff duo Ryan Seaton and Matt McGovern finished 10th overall in their category yesterday to end an excellent Irish campaign at the ISAF Sailing World Championships in Western Australia.

The chief objectives were achieved with the 49er, Star and Laser Radial class securing Olympic qualification and based on the displays of the past fortnight, hopes are high that a podium finish can be achieved in Weymouth next year.

The 49er pair had an outside chance of a medal but one poor tack early on cost them dearly.
