The Northern Ireland Sailing Team youth squad have been putting together a solid block of training this week at Ballyholme ahead of the Irish Sailing National Championships.

Conditions have given us a bit of everything, which has been useful. We’ve been able to work across race starts, boat handling and decision-making under pressure, while also giving the sailors time to settle into the venue.

There’s been a good level of focus across the group, and it’s been encouraging to see the progress over the week. The aim now is to carry that into racing and trust the work that’s been done.

Looking forward to seeing how they get on next week.
