After a previous cancellation due to weather, the 2024 DMYC Kish Race - supported by Lenster Boats - from Dun Laoghaire on Dublin Bay sailed on Sunday (October 6th), albeit to the Shanganagh buoy in Killiney Bay, because of heavy offshore seas and persistent misty conditions on Dublin Bay.  

The first three boats home on the water, from 24 competing, were Frank Whelan's canting keel Elliot 57, Opal from Greystones Harbour, Chris Power Smith's J122 Aurelia, and Justin Burke's JPK 10.30, ReQuest.
