Dublin Bay Sailing Club (DBSC) is not holding racing for cruiser-racer classes 1 – 5 on Saturday, 4th September in order to accommodate the Irish Cruiser Racer Association (ICRA) National Championships that are being staged on Dublin Bay.
The annual championships being staged by the National Yacht Club have already received 60 entries and with the collaboration of DBSC, the national cruiser body anticipates an even bigger entry from Dun Laoghaire Harbour's four waterfront clubs.
DBSC Commodore Ann Kirwan said “DBSC is pleased to support ICRA for this National Championship event next month and in order to encourage our members to participate we will not be holding racing for Cruisers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 on Saturday, September 4th’.
Kirwan also told Afloat ‘there will be racing for B31.7s, Shipmans, Glens, the Green Fleet and DBSC Dinghies that weekend. Only Cruisers 0-5 will not have DBSC racing’.
ICRA Commodore Richard Colwell commented, “we are delighted that DBSC is supporting and encouraging members to participate in this year’s National Championships”.
Colwell says "we have a good range of yachts across the likely classes, the Championships is gearing up to be a great event and the combined ICRA/National Yacht Club teams are currently working on options for social activities, subject to COVID restrictions with more to follow on this".
