Well Done C.S.C. Boys

We here at South East Powerboating would like to wish our boys from C.S.C. a very well done at today’s regional finals for the ISA Yachtsman Euromarine RIB Championship. The regionals were held in Wexford harbour boat and tennis club under a lovely sunny blue sky. The day started by getting the brain working with a nautical themed quiz. Following the quiz the teams headed outside to the throw bag competition, Courtown undoubtedly dominated this event. The water event came next with Wexford moving into first. The final event came then in the form of an anchoring test exicuted perfectly by the courtown lads. The anchoring gave Courtown second place which is enough to secure a place in the national finals to take place next month. So again South East Powerboating wish to say well done to Iain Biddulph, Andrew Wafer, David Switzer and last but by no means least Donal Murphy aka Horsebox.
