Day 6 Highlights - KBC Laser Radial Worlds
The decision to launch early at the Royal St George Yacht Club bore fruit this morning as three more races in the week long series were completed, bringing the curtain down on the biggest regatta sailed in Ireland this year. Massachusetts student Henry Marshall has won the Boys KBC Laser Radial World title in Dun Laoghaire this afternoon. In a dramatic conclusion to the three world–title event, Howth Yacht Club's Ewan McMahon took the boys silver medal challenging the American for gold in a cliffhanger final 11th race. In a very positive test of the depth of talent of Irish youth sailing, five Irish boys made the gold fleet cut in the largest 229–boat fleet. Royal Cork Yacht Club’s Johnny Durcan was eighth, the host club’s Conor O’Beirne was 12th, Liam Glynn was 31st and Ronan Walsh 47th.

Day 5 Highlights - KBC Laser Radial Worlds
Racing on the penultimate day of the championship was abandoned when the wind died, leaving the biggest regatta fleet in Ireland this year becalmed on Dublin Bay. A number of races were started on both race courses but scrubbed when a fickle north–westerly breeze dropped from five knots to zero.
