The Dublin Bay Sigma 33 fleet hold their coastal race tomorrow from Dun Laoghaire to Greystones marina in what is forecast to be favourable conditions for the novel race.

Up to six will compete in the 12–mile race for 'The Night Cap' Trophy presented by former Sigma 33 ace Timothy Goodbody.

On the way south the Dublin Bay based fleet will have a bird’s eye view of the Air Show over Bray, Class Captain Paddy Maguire told Afloat.ie

In last year's inaugural coastal race, Rupert (Dick & Philip Lovegrove) rounded the finish line mark only a boat length ahead of White Mischief (Tim Goodbody) after three hours of racing.

The prizegiving will be held in the new Greystones Sailing Club clubhouse.
