If J109 Outrajeous with her almost-clean sheet is outrageous in IRC One division of Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta, then words fail us for James Dwyer's Classic Half Tonner Swuzzlebubble in IRC 2, as the discard at close of play today enabled her to drop the fourth from Friday's first race, and so she sits on a barely discernible four points.

However, all those J/Boats have to manifest their presence, and Colin Kavanagh's J/97 Jeneral Lee from Howth is on 8 points – all second places after discarding her third from Friday morning.
