#DUBLIN BAY NEWS - TheJournal.ie reports that gardaí are investigating the discovery of a human arm on a south Dublin beach on Thursday - the second such find in Dublin Bay in less than a week.

The body part was spotted by a member of the public around noon on a stretch of sand at Shankill. The arm was taken to the city morgue for examination by the coroner.

The news comes just says after a human leg was found on Dollymount Strand in north Dublin, as previously reported on Afloat.ie.

The Garda Press Office said it was too early to say if the two finds are connected in any way.

About J Class Yachts

The J Class has its roots in the oldest sporting race in the world, The America’s Cup.

The founding of the J Class Association (JCA) in 2000 to protect the interests of the Class, present and future, accelerated a real revival. 

Class Rules were established for the construction of replica rebuilds from original plans and several replicas and original designs were subsequently built. 

The class, which today comprises nine boats, now has an annual calendar highlighted by the Caribbean and Mediterranean sailing seasons.
