There is one week until the entry deadline for February's first race of the AIB-sponsored DBSC Spring Chicken Series from Dun Laoghaire Harbour, which will take place at the National Yacht Club.
Dublin Bay Sailing Club has published the Notice of Race for its AIB 2024 Spring Chicken Series here.
Six races will be held on Sunday mornings from 4 February to 10 March (first gun 1010 hrs), using a progressive handicap on a time-to-time basis.
The 2023 Series attracted a fleet of nearly fifty boats, and organisers are expecting a similar fleet next month.
Cruisers, cruising boats, one-designs and boats that do not normally race are “very welcome”, DBSC adds. After the sailing, prize draws, food and more will be kindly hosted by the National Yacht Club.
The entry fee is €60, which includes temporary membership of DBSC and the NYC. Entries can be made online at dbsc.ie.
Anyone experiencing issues with their entries is invited to contact Rosemary Roy, Hon Sec, at 087 7626976 or Fintan Cairns at 087 2439208.
Sailing instructions will be available on Sunday, 4 February and will be emailed to entrants beforehand.
