Feva good, 200 fair, 400 not so good

The RS Feva, 200 and 400 Nationals are on this weekend in Cultra. It seems fair to say that the Dun Laoghaire contingent are having a varied time of it so far.

In the Fevas there are Dun Laoghaire boats in 2nd and 3rd (the Higgins pair and Rafferty/Coleman), and the contingent from the George is very strong overall.  Kudos!


In the 200s the top Dun Laoghaire boat is in 5th (Craig/Foley), with Noonan/King in 6th, Totterdell/Kelly in 13th, with the Cassidy and Hinkson pairings in 15th and 17th respectively.  Not bad.


The 400 fleet is seeing the Dun Laoghaire boats having a torrid time. In a difficult regatta where more than half the fleet didn't even finish the 3rd race, the normally consistent Ryan brothers are carrying an 18th place and are running in 9th overall. Given their normal standard they're unlikely to be happy with that!!  Meantime Arthur Mehigan is holding 29th with a fairly even set of results and Richard Tate is having a fun but frustrating weekend in 41st. It's got to rank as an "Oh dear" for Dun Laoghaire in the 400s, although with Olympians in 11th and regular Laser Masters regional winners in 20th the standard of the fleet can't be overstated.



Let's hope things pick up on Sunday!
