Snow White Recovers to Win DBSC Flying Fifteen Race

After what turned out to be a dissappointing end to last weekend's national championships on Dublin Bay for Flying fifteen duo Ciaran Crummy and Frank Burgess, the National Yacht Club pair were back at the top of the DBSC fleet this afternoon sailing Snow White to victory in a 12–boat fleet. Second was club mate Alan Dooley's Flogger and third was The Gruffalo (Keith Poole).

Blustery west winds up to 15 knots and record temperatures made for pleasant Saturday racing across all 17 DBSC classes.

Henry Robinson's Whiterock won the Shipmans, up to speed following last weekend's Belfast Lough nationals Paddy Maguire took advanatge of Tim Goodbody's absence at the Sovereign's Cup to win in the Sigma 33s and Ann Kirwan won the Ruffians.
