The sailors from the Downpatrick school battled hard in tough conditions, with a special mention to going to Adam Fermor, sailing in the Laser Standard fleet, who made a clean sweep, with five first place podium finished from five races. 

Evie Mclaughlin also performed impressively, finishing as third lady overall, in the Laser Radial Fleet. Evie neatly summed the team’s experience on the water, describing it as, “A fabulous weekend of racing!”
