Tiamat Returns to Cruisers Zero with a Win

Tiamat's return to Dublin Bay Sailing Club on Saturday also marked the return of Cruiser Zero racing to the bay after an absence so far this season. Tiamat is back and – as Saturday's peformance shows – in winning form thanks to the enterprising efforts of the Raptor crew who were dismasted at the ICRA nats two weeks ago. The Royal Irish Yacht Club crew under Denis Hewitt have reformed and are now sailing the Commodore's Cupper Tiamat.

Also afloat for the first time was George Sisk’s much anticipated Wow, a new J111. The delivery of this Dublin Bay boat was delayed, which meant the crew, also from the Royal Irish Yacht Club, missed both the ICRA nationals and Sovereign's Week last month but they'll not miss Thursday's Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta.

At 14 boats it will be the biggest gathering of Zero's so far this season.

There were ideal sailing breezes from the south for DBSC Saturday's racing, it made for great sport across 17 classes. Full results for Dublin Bay Sailing Club 2 JULY 2011 are below:
