Malahide Yacht Club

At the invitation of Richard and Sherril Burrows, members of the Executive Committee of Malahide Yacht Club took the opportunity to visit their Portmarnock home recently and wish their son David well before he heads off on the next phase of his  build-up to the Olympic Regatta in Weymouth later this year.

David gave a fascinating insight into the campaign he and his Star Class helmsman Peter O’Leary (from Cork) have undertaken to qualify for the Games, the fourth time David has represented Ireland at the ultimate level.  

In his informal presentation, David remarked on how his early sailing and training on the Broadmeadows in the past had proven a considerable advantage when competing at particular international venues.

To mark the occasion, Commodore Bob Sugrue presented David with a framed MYC burgee.
