An inauspicious start to the 2009 sailing season continues with the postponement of the Baily Bowl One Design weekend this morning due to 40 knots winds and big seas on Dublin bay. Royal Alfred organisers, like many other boating events around the country, have been forced to wait until tomorrow to start. Windward-leeward style racing for SB3s, Squibs, Fifiteens, Catamarans and Dragons is scheduled for 10.30 Sunday.
