Hanna and Curran on crest of a wave

4 July 2012

GOOD sailing conditions on Saturday saw Killyleagh Yacht Club host the LM Installations Cup for Squibs.

Although only five boats took part in the event, the racing was very competitive throughout the day with the final race deciding the overall winner.

Killyleagh Yacht Club dominated race one with David Hanna and Harold Curran taking line honours in Blue, ahead of Firecracker, under Steven Bridges and Ryan Withers who finished in second place.

In race two, Firecracker finished ahead of the rest with Dermot Quinn and Gus Moore in Sparkler taking second place. With a falling tide adding problems in race three, Blue was placed ahead of Firecracker at the last mark, allowing Hanna and Curran to win the overall prize.

The event was very generously sponsored by Lada and Davina Moucka, who not only provided a range of prizes for all the competitors, but also a post-event supper for everyone in the club.   

The overall results were as follows: 1st Blue, David Hanna and Harold Curran; 2nd, Firecracker, Steven Bridges and Ryan Withers; 3rd Hawkeye, Simon Watson and James Marks.
