 A double victory for Yacht Club de Monaco sailor Martin Lemarchand off Kinsale in the ICRA IRC National Championships, part of the Kildare Innovation Campus Sovereign’s Cup, a major event on the Irish sailing calendar.
Aboard the J/112e The Big Picture, Martin Lemarchand and his crew raced into the lead early on in the IRC Zero category thanks to winning four of the eight races completed.  Solid and consistent to the end they beat Jelly Baby, the J/122 of the Jones family (Royal Cork Yacht Club) to win the group.
The result also meant Martin Lemarchand secured the Irish Offshore IRC Championship title that was up for grabs all season confirming his mastery of this national circuit.
Typical Atlantic conditions with strong wind, heavy seas and changeable weather were enough to test the 100+ boats competing in the different categories.
