Dublin Bay's Helter Skelter Takes Well Earned Win on ECHO Handicap

Adrienne Jermyn's Helter Skelter was the Cruisers II winner on ECHO handicap in yesterday's Dublin Bay Sailing Club Saturday Series race writes our Dublin Bay Correspondent.

In a perfect sailing breeze that built steadily all afternoon the combined DBSC fleet of over 220 boats across 17 classes were treated to some stunning reaching legs as the breeze topped 15 knots.

The Jeanneau Sunfast 32i design beat the Corby 25 Smile (O'Connell/Healy/O'Sullivan) and third was another Corby design, a 26-footer, Cor Baby (Keith Kiernan).

But under the club's major handicap rule, the IRC rule, none of the ECHO winners featured. Instead it was the J80 Jawesome 11 (V.Kennedy/M.Dyke) home first. Second was the vintage half tonner Dick Dastardly (B.Cusack et al) from the DMYC. Third was the DB1 Red Rhum (J Nicholson).

In the one design fleets, Bruce Carswell's Ruffian 23 footer Diane II from the Royal St. George Yacht Club was first home. Second was Ann Kirwan's Ruff N Ready. Third was Derek Mitchell's Ruff Nuff.

Class Supremo Tim Goodbody of the Royal Irish took another win in the Sigma 33 class. Second was Paddy Maguire's Gwilli Two.
