NYC Finn Lynch is the new U19 Laser Standard World Sailing Champion
Aspiring Olympian and NYC Member Finn Lynch is the new U19 Laser Standard World Sailing Champion. The Carlow native and member of the ISA’s Development Squad made a great comeback on the last day of the competition at the U21 Laser Standard & Radial World Championship in Douarnenez, France to win Gold in the U19 category.
ISA Performance Director James O’Callaghan comments “Another podium finish at the Worlds makes it one of sailing’s most successful seasons. For Finn the achievement is even more remarkable given that it’s his second World title in as many years”. Indeed, Finn became the under 19 World Champion on home ‘grounds’ in 2013 when the NYC hosted the Laser European and World Championships, where, for memory, Annalise Murphy also became Women Laser Radial European Champion.
