Day #1 4 pm: The first retiral from the Dun Laoghaire Dingle Race is the First 40 Prima Forte that has retired into Killiney Bay just two hours after the start.
The 14th edition of the 280-mile offshore fixture started at 2 pm off Dun Laoghaire Harbour and is organised by the National Yacht Club.
The former British Commodores Cupper, skippered by Sean Lemass, was among the leading bunch immediately after this afternoon's start as Afloat reports here but retired shortly after leaving Dublin Bay with halyard issues.
