Despite multiple attempts by the Royal Irish Yacht Club Race Committee to commence the remaining schedule on Sunday, the light northerly winds on Dublin Bay did not cooperate for the second day of racing at the 2024 Dun Laoghaire Cup for sports boats.

As a result, racing was abandoned at 2 pm, and the overnight positions after three races sailed and all to count (as reported by Afloat here) stood, and the presentation of prizes for the three East Coast and one National championship went ahead in May sunshine on the RIYC balcony on Sunday afternoon.

The Royal Irish Yacht Club at Dun Laoghaire Habour has announced it is 'sadly' postponing its planned May Dun Laoghaire Cup till 2022 due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions.
