The Viking Marine DMYC Dinghy Frostbite organisers have announced the cancellation of the racing schedule for Sunday, December 8th, in Dun Laoghaire Harbour.

After reviewing the weather forecast for 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Race Officer Cormac Bradley explained that although there is an anticipated drop in wind strength, it is not adequate or timely enough for safe racing conditions.

Competitors can look forward to racing resuming on Sunday, December 15th.
