The Royal Alfred Yacht Club enjoyed a brilliant day of sunshine for its annual regatta. The Bloomsday Regatta was hosted at the Royal Irish Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire.
With gust south westerly winds, the A & B courses completed two windard/leeward races with White Sails enjoying a race around the cans. In three of the classes there were tie breaks broken by the best placing in the last race of the day. Result highlights below and full results downloadable as MS Word files below.
