The Ulster / Connacht Schools Team Racing event wrapped up last weekend after a full day of  competitive sailing and great sportsmanship on the water. Conditions tested boat handling and teamwork, with temperatures playing a big part on the day. Race officers and volunteers kept the schedule running smoothly, allowing for a full programme of races and plenty of opportunities for teams to show their skills.
