A successful return to racing for 29er National Championships 2021
After almost one year off the race course, NYCâs 29er sailors travelled to Crosshaven with great determination to take part in the 2021 AIB 29er national Championships 3-4 July.
The two-day event was a success: sailing conditions were better than forecast with little rain and most of the ten-race series was held in 12-15 knots on the Curlane Bank, Cork Harbour. Winds were shifty though, and with six races back-to-back covering over 60km of distance on Saturday and four races on Sunday, the sailorsâ fitness and stamina were truly tested. The fifteen-boat 29er fleet is growing steadily and NYCâs representatives did their club proud.
