The Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club is hosting the Ridgeway GP14 Irish National Championship this coming weekend on Belfast Lough, over 40 boats expected on the start line for this event and a prelude to the GP14 Worlds down in Skerries mid-August.
One of the great joys with the current Irish GP fleet is that the competition is so strong the whole way through, there will be many teams aiming to compete in the top 10, Adrian Lee and Gareth Gallagher, Curly Morris and Meg Tyrell, Katie Dwyer and Michelle Rowley (fighting hard for first lady helm) and the McGuiness brothers to name a few.
Not to forget the battles throughout the Silver and Bronze fleet with new categories this year in addition to the youth overall prize, a Junior trophy (U19) and first Lady Helm trophy will be awarded.
All in all, it looks to be a fantastic event, looking like 40 plus boats and half decent weather forecast. Racing starts on Saturday 2nd July at 12noon on Belfast Lough Cultra
