In spite of a slip in a double points race Tim Goodbody of the Royal Irish YC has retained his Irish Sigma 33 title after a ten race series on Dublin Bay at the weekend. The three day regatta attracted a fleet of 14 boats from six clubs. Second overall was Kinsale's Clem McElligott in Seahawk. Third was Rupert, Paddy Varian and Dick Lovegroves' entry from the Royal St. George host club. Overall prizes of plaques bearing half models of the Sigma 33 were well received.
