#dbsc – The National Yacht Club will host Dublin Bay Sailing Club's Spring Chicken series starting on 2nd February and running until March 9th. It follows the 70–boat Turkey shoot that ran up to Christmas. Both series are being sponsored by Rathfarnham Ford. Entry form and a Notice of Race are attached for download below.
A series of six races will be held on Sunday mornings on Dublin Bay and scored under modified ECHO. Cruisers, cruising boats, one-designs and boats that do not normally race are very welcome, according to race organiser Fintan Cairns.
Again, as an incentive to get people sailing, a boat that takes out a NON-SAILOR (new to sailing) will get a 2% discount on it's handicap that day. The non-sailor will qualify as such for 3 races if taken. Names must be registered before sailing on the day.
The entry fee of €60.00 includes temporary membership of Dublin Bay S.C. and National YC
