#Clontarf - Gardaí are appealing for any information on the identity of an elderly woman whose body was recovered from the sea off Clontarf earlier this week.
As TheJournal.ie reports, the woman, thought to be aged in her late 60s or early 70s with grey hair and a slight build, was discovered on Tuesday 30 June at the North Bull Wall.
TheJournal.ie has much more on the story HERE.
The ILCA, formerly known as the Laser, is the most produced boat in the world, with 220,000 units built since 1971.
It's easy to see why the single-handed dinghy has won the title of the most widely distributed boat of all time.
The Laser is a one-design dinghy, the hulls being identical but three rigs that can be used according to the size and weight of the sailor.
The class is international, with sailors from 120 countries. The boat has also been an Olympic class since 1996, being both the men's and women's singlehanded dinghy.
Three rigs are recognised by the International Laser Class Association (ILCA):
