ISA LASER 4.7 SQUAD : DUTCH EUROPA CUP
The ISA laser 4.7 squad traveled to Hoorn, Holland last week to compete in the Dutch Europa Cup. The event is part of their program towards the worlds. The worlds will be hosted by Trogir in Croatia.
The team members competing were Rory Lynch, , Philip Doran, Sean Murphy, Neil Bermingham and Ruth Harrington. They saw the addition of Wesley Brownlow.
The 4 days in Holland were intense and several lessons were learnt helping the squad to progress. 6 races were sailed in various conditions and the event was hotly contested by 38 sailors from 8 nations. The overall win ultimately went to Italy and the most impressive team was with no doubt the Croatians with 5 members in the top 10. But the Irish were not shy either with several races in the top 10 and philip Doran ultimately finishing 9th overall (his second E-Cup in the top 10 after his 6th in Croatia last Christmas).
