Ireland Sailing Championship - Following a nail-biting five race final in Kinsale on Saturday the 20th of November, Nicholas O’Leary (RCYC) was crowned ISA All Ireland Sailing Champion 2010. He is now the only competitor in the history of the event to win 3 consecutive championship titles.
It was an incredibly close competition between the top three sailors. The fifth and final race in the SailFleet J80’s began with Nicholas O’Leary, his father Anthony O’Leary (RCYC) and fellow Royal Cork Yacht Club opponent Neil Kenefick all tied on five points each, allowing for discards. All three competitors had won at least one race prior so the pressure to outperform each other was fierce.
Ultimately it was Nicholas O’Leary who proved worthy of the Helmsman Trophy by winning the final race and beating his father to the title. Nicholas was followed closely by his father Anthony O’Leary (RCYC) who placed second overall, with Neil Kenefick (RCYC) claiming third place.
