What's
New? :
04/07/06: Bracken/O'Hara back on form
The first 2 races of this week have seen Damien Bracken & Brian
O'Hara return to their winning form. With Bullets on both Monday
and Tuesday night they have reasserted their position in the fleet.
The Monday night race was hotly contested with John Walsh/Niamh
O'Rourke who led for the most part, just loosing out to Bracken
and O'Hara in the closing stages. The same fate awaited Hugh Johnson
& David Barry tonight who led for a good proportion of the race
before being caught. The Clarke brothers have suffered badly in
the light airs, with third position both nights. Bringing up the
rear was Alan Murnane and Kevin Morrissey who were late for the
gun.
27/06/06: Can no-one stop them?
We are now 6 contested races into the new season and the Clarke's
continue to dominate the fleet. With 5 firsts and an unlucky second
to date, it certainly appears that there is no-one else up to the
challenge. Fleet numbers on the water are still very small considering
the number of fireballs on the hard. Hugh and Donal made a welcome
return at the weekend as did John and Niamh. We look forward to
a much larger turn out next week with racing on Sat, Mon, Tues,
Wed & Thurs. The results to date will be posted on the Sunday
following the next race series.
19/06/06: Clarke Brothers Dominate first 3 Races
The season has been slow to kick off but there has been nothing
slow about the Clarke Brothers in Raging Hull. With 3 firsts under
their belt in the first 3 races; most recently beating Damien "Salmon
of Knowledge" Bracken and Brian O'Hara in a thrilling race
this evening. The Clarke's took an early lead on the first beat
but The Salmon/Brian managed to get ahead on leg 3. Their position
swap was short lived as the Clarke's performed a few masterfully
executed roll tacks in an exhilarating tacking duel to retake the
lead and maintain it for the rest of the race. The fleet makes a
welcome return to Brendan Hughes and David Fitzpatrick who are back
sailing with us. We hope to see more people on the water for the
remainder of the week as there are races on Tue,Wed & Thurs.
Please note that we have a number of crewing positions available
at the moment. Please contact Brian Nolan if you are interested
