Warm sunshine and light winds on Friday evening last made for a very relaxed start to the Camile Thai Mullaghmore Regatta. However, Saturday and Sunday’s conditions with testing winds and showers made for a challenging and exciting schedule of races run by Dublin Bay Race Officer, Brian Matthews who was supported by Mairead Ni Cheallachain.

In the 12-strong spinnaker fleet, Sligo Yacht Club’s Jevan, skippered by Ken Draper saw off the competition to take the Pier Head trophy on Friday. Richard O'Boyle led the fleet on Saturday in Maximus to take the SF trophy, and Sean Hawkshaw’s Sigma 38 from Mullaghmore Sailing Club won the Commodore’s Cup on Sunday.
