18th December 2007
The GP14 Class Association of Ireland ran a number of very successful 'Club Support' days throughout 2007. The days comprised of gold fleet sailors from within the fleet spending time with clubs mainly on the water, working at improving sailing and racing skills. This has proved hugely successful and is something the Association is keen to continue into 2008. For further details contact Ossian Geraghty, Hon. Secretary.
