‘Nin’ leads way in Sovereigns

A second day of superb sailing conditions graced the 90-strong fleet competing in the Covestone Asset Management Sovereigns Cup at Kinsale yesterday.

Sunny skies, flat water and a breeze that built steadily to 15 knots from the west proved ideal for most.

In most classes, good local knowledge was vital due to the spring tides pushing from right to left across the course areas between the Sovereigns rocks and the Old Head of Kinsale.
