With heavy seas and blustery winds over force 5, PRO Larry Power (NYC) managed to get in two races in Dun Laoghaire harbour – by kind permission of the Harbour Master.

Caroline Clarke in Diane II retained her title in style by winning both races, with Hilary Murphy Fegan in Riff Raff coming second in each race. All boats used a mandatory rig of No. 2 headsails with 1 reef in the main. Larry Power received congratulations from all the crews for managing to get in 2 races in very difficult conditions.
