Not even a mid race heavy rain shower could dampen spirits of the Dublin Bay Sailing Club fleet celebrating the arrival of the Figaro fleet in Dun Laoghaire tonight. The 48-boat Figaro fleet are moored in front of the National Yacht Club and were a novel sight for DBSC sailors before tonight's race.
A fine turnout of 14 Flying Fifteens in advance of this weekend's Southern Championships at Dunmore East was won by Chris Doorly's Deranged in a moderate north westerly breeze. Second was Tom Leonard's Mellifluence and third David Mulvin's Frequent flyer. The full DBSC results are below:
