McCarthy brothers celebrate at RCYC

GLORIOUS autumnal conditions favoured the Royal Cork Offshore Day and, in a light to moderate south easterly breeze Class One sailed around the Cork Buoy, down to the Bullman Buoy off Kinsale and back to the finish at Roches Point.

The combined Class 2 and 3 boats had a more direct route to the Sovereigns and back.

The McCarthy Brothers on Checkmate took Class One IRC but Echo went to Donal O’Leary on D-Tox. Jerome McCarthy on Le Big Mac won IRC in classes 2-3 with Echo taken by Rom Hyde’s Eytheen 24.
