More power to ’em: Double boost for Olympic hopefuls

Three converted shipping containers may seem a modest statement of Olympic intent, but Irish Sailing’s High Performance HQ in Dun Laoghaire was hailed as a real game-changer at its official opening this morning.
Annalise Murphy explains why the €300,000 base will help those chasing Tokyo qualification to ‘leave home stronger’ in our story here, read how new Olympic Federation of Ireland money could “Make A Difference” too, and don’t miss Winkie Nixon’s assessment of the Annalise effect at last week’s Team Waddilove/Dickson fundraiser, in his Sailing on Saturdays blog tomorrow.
