Despite a forecast that suggested 15 - 19knots for today's DMYC Frostbites on Dublin Bay, the live wind situation has a bit more "oomph" to it with gusts in excess of thirty knots being recorded at Dublin Bay Buoy. As this is being typed, the wind is whistling through the rigging of the boats on the hard.

Next Sunday sees the conclusion of the Frostbites with two races programmed and a 13:30 start to accommodate the earlier processing of results.

The Series 2 and Overall prizegiving will follow racing next Sunday.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
