The Flying Fifteen Facet cup being presented by Facet Jewellers based in Dun Laoghaire, as an added encouragement to race on the August Bank Holiday weekend, has become one of the domestic Class‘s main events of the season and as ever was well supported by one of the biggest One Design fleets in the bay, with all but three of the DBSC registered boats on the water.
Racing was held in the Sandymount side of the bay, and with the offshore breeze proved to be a mental challenge to all but the winners, who scored a double win. Others having a mixed bag of results. In both races “Frequent Flyer” with guest helm John Lavery found the best path to the first mark, and never looked back.
The overall result for the day was; First 3970 John Lavery, Second 4045 Gerry Ryan, Third 3955 Ken Dumpleton.
Pat Shannon from Facet Jewellers kindly presented the prizes from a “social distance” in the dinghy park in the National Yacht Club.
