With 106 entries, the place is really starting to get busy. The club, with support from Fingal Co., have set up an amazing tented village to cater for the many visiting crews and their families from both overseas and from around Ireland.
Racing kicks off today with the first of the 9 races scheduled for the event. The remaining schedule is for 2 races each day till Friday with a lay day on Wednesday. The event PRO Bill O'Hara ia already on site and I am sure keeping a watching brief on the weather situation. While the beautiful weather is welcome at this stage for getting settled in and getting boat ready, fingers are crossed that the event will have decent wind between now and next Friday.
The Opening Ceremony will include a welcome from Curly Morris, GP14 International President and Brian McNally the Commodore Skerries Sailing Club, a brass band and the event will be formally opened by the Mayor of Fingal at 5pm today.
