The Peachy summary...

The final day of the Irish Feva Nationals was met with AP over 2 (2hours postponement) the GBR team kept peeping out into Dublin Bay hoping for the 30plus knots to abate so the 58 boats could get out on the water.

Finally the racing was abandoned at 1pm as there was a small craft warning for Dublin Bay still in existence. Job done for Team GBR who's top performance came from Rob and Emma Loveridge, followed closely  by Morgan Peach and Herbie Harford just one point behind in 4th overall.

Owen Bowerman and Charlie Darling (World Champions) came in 10th overall after working on various mechanics/crew work  onboard their boat.

Morgan Peach and Herbie Harford won the top under 14 boat and collected their trophy to chants of "Peachy Peachy" from the irish teams they had made friends with over the weekend, Morgan said "the Irish have been really friendly and we have exchanged facebook profiles with lots of new friends"

Rob and Emma collected their 3rd place trophy from the Vice Commodore of the Royal St George YC draped in the customary Union Jack flag.

The whole Irish fleet were incredibly welcoming and really fierce competition on the water, "this is defiantly an event Team GBR are planning to do again as its a great opportunity to test your skills against competitive sailors" said Niall Myant National Squad Coach.

The overall winners and Irish National Champions were Irelands finest Brendan Lyndan and Marc Cudmore with counting results of 1,2,1,3 and an OCS. Second were RCYC Vikki Cudmore and Amy Harrington who sailed a tactically flawless regatta.
