HYC successes at Optimist Ulsters
HYC was well represented at the Optimist Ulster Championships 10th and 11th June 2017 at the Royal North of Ireland Yacht Club on Belfast Lough.
Three races were completed on Saturday, in challenging conditions. Unfortunately, after an initial postponement on Sunday due to strong winds, racing was eventually abandoned. Michal Gryglewski coached our main fleet sailors during the event and was very happy with an all-round solid performance!
