The Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club (DMYC) is looking forward to the kick-off of this winter’s dinghy Frostbite Series sponsored by Viking Marine in Dun Laoghaire this Sunday afternoon (5 November), with the wind forecast to provide a challenging afternoon.

There is no change to the well-developed formula of racing in the harbour, aiming for at least two races each Sunday, with as short a turnaround as possible between races and a more frequent use of the W ‘whiskey’ flag, awarding finish places to the slower competitors on the water.

Recent days have also seen a flurry of last-minute entries after initially modest interest, with a chart mapping the entry numbers by class on the club website indicating an ever-increasing ILCA 6 (Radial) fleet who will be sure to give the Race Management Team a challenging job.
