Results are getting interesting with discards kicking in at Dublin Bay Sailing Club's Turkey Shoot. The large turnouts continue to defy the skeptics with up to 65 boats racing in some great conditions. The final two races are this weekend and next, if racing goes to form any one of the top 10-12 boats can win going in to the last race. The prizegiving is on December 19th. Starts and ECHO handicaps are attached.
