Kenneally holds off rivals to seal Frostbite success

Conditions for the final day of the ASM Marine Frostbite League at Kinsale Yacht Club on Sunday morning did not look promising initially but by race time the south-westerly breeze had strengthened to a welcome force three.

Though the usual six-week programme had been interrupted by the loss of two days’ racing, the completion of three final races brought the total number to 14, with three discards applying.

Though the spoils were equally shared in the Laser Standard Fleet on Sunday, with Ronan Kenneally (MBSC), James Long (ISKC) and Robert Howe (MBSC) each securing a win, a second and third, it was Kenneally with his outstanding performance of seven straight wins in the early part of the league that eventually won him the class title.
