This Saturday all Dublin Bay Sailing Club (DBSC) Cruiser racing will be started from its West Pier starting hut at Dun Laoghaire as opposed to the more usual committee boat starts on Dublin Bay. The move is the first of a series of three afternoon coastal races as published in this year's busy racing programme for the Bay. The series is known as the 'DBSC/Royal Alfred' Trophy Race Series. The demand for coastal races is on the increase with the 2016 ISORA season already off to a buoyant start with a race to Wicklow and a race to Holyhead already boasting numbers not seen since the 1980s.

Race Officers for this weekend's fixtures are Barry MacNeany (a former Commodore of the Royal Alfred, Larry Power a former RAYC Treasurer. Former Alfred Secretary Debbie Horan will be officiating as a timekeeper ensuring a strong presence for the club after its incorporation with DBSC at the start of this season.
