Deluge Over, Upd8 Wins DBSC Race

26th August 2011

Afloat.ie Team

The deluge that hit Dun Laoghaire yesterday afternoon did not dampen the spirits of the Dublin Bay Sailing Club fleet who emerged from the harbour for a brisk Thursday evening race. Austin Whelan's First Class 8, Upd8 made the most of the southerly conditions in Cruisers Three to record a win on IRC. Second was Cri-Cri, the club's only Jezequel 116, and third the Sonata, Asterix. The win comes on the eve of the DBSC's annual Cruiser Challenge series that begins this evening and includes the Cruisers III East Coast Championships so DBSC organisers are hoping yesterday's heavy downpours are a thing of the past.
