A lively forecast overnight suggested it was optimistic to think there would be DMYC Dinghy Frostbite racing yesterday, because early on Sunday the forecast was for Westerlies to moderate.

The plug was pulled though when it appeared the wind wasn't moderating enough to allow racing yet by 4pm, conditions in the harbour and south Dublin Bay were near calm.

Next Sunday (March 26), sees the final race of the Frostbite Series followed by the prize-giving at the DMYC.

#frostbites – The weather station on the east pier of Dun Laoghaire was recording wind strengths of 17 - 19 knots with gusts in the low thirties and although the committee boat went out, ultimately they abandoned racing on the water with a "N over A".
