DAVID HARTE LEADS TEACHER'S ROUND BRITAIN RACE
Sailing
Ireland's David Harte eased Dream of Erin into the lead of the second leg of the Teacher's Round Britain Race. All 10 yachts, two each from Wales, Scotland, France, England and Ireland, continue to make slow progress on a course shortened to take them directly up the Irish Sea instead of outside Ireland as light winds persist.
