Visiting former World Champion Charles Apthorp and National YC crew Alan Green convincingly retained the 2016 Mitsubishi Eastern Championship held in Dun Laoghaire at the weekend (October 1,2) , with 33 boats competing.
The pair scored three wins on day one, enough to give them an eight-point margin over Sean Craig and Chris Doorly, also of the National, who pipped clubmates Ian Mathews and Keith Poole into third.
It was Green’s third FFAI event victory this season, and Apthorp’s second. FFAI President Keith Poole thanked sponsors Mitsubishi for their support for the event, along with the host club organizers and volunteer team.
