In Junior Main Gold Fleet, after 6 races, the George had another 1/2/3, with sisters Lily Donagh and Maeve Donagh 1st and 2nd place respectively and Finn Foley in 3rd. In Junior Main Silver, we had yet another Donagh sister, Emily, in 1st place and Ella Rock in 6th. In Junior Bronze Fleet, Holly Cantwell was in 3rd place, Tom Darcy in 7th and James Crawford in 9th.
