The next event for the European tour is the grade 3 at the Royal St George Yacht Club in Ireland. The event is made up of 6 Irish teams and 6 international teams. The team is looking forward to getting back into boats after attending match cup Sweden last week. The team is made up of Peter Nicholas, Travis Keay, Jay Halligan and Tom Bentham. Tom normally sails with Ruben Corbett on the New Zealand team and will boost the experience level on the boat.
The team is full of confidence going into the event after winning the Trapani Match Race in Sicily and is excited to jump onto the J80 yachts. It is also added benefit we get to come up against another Perth local in Keith Swinton who is currently ranked 18th. With the latest rankings been published yesterday the Freshie Racing Team team has moved up to 74th which will greatly help in the future to qualify for higher grade events.
