"BTR 2022 will see excellent race management under the race Officer control of Con Murphy and his team. This coupled with the consistent sea and wind conditions off Bangor will provide all the ingredients for some fantastic racing. Of course, off the water RUYC and Bangor will not be found wanting!”
