Three wins from three races in light and fickle conditions on Dublin Bay give the host club's John Maybury a clear lead in the J/109 National Championships 2021 at the Royal Irish Yacht Club.

Maybury's Joker II, a past class champion, is five points clear of Richard Colwell and John Murphy's Outrajeous from Howth Yacht Club on eight points.

Third in the ten boat fleet on 12 points is Andrew Craig's Chimaera also of the host club.

Racing continues on Sunday and more light winds are forecast.
