Fair Winds End 2011 Dublin Bay Sailing Club Season

24th September 2011

Patience is a virtue. That's the lesson from today's final race of the Dublin Bay Sailing Club season. It might have been a lovely day ashore but afloat the lack of wind posed a real problem for DBSC's race officer Hal Bleakley who had to deal with a fickle 100 degree wind at lunch time but the promise of a 240 degree wind that was blowing in nearby Killiney Bay. Bleakley had no option but to wait and it was a delay that paid dividends because the forecasted 12 knots arrived and the season finished on an appropriate high. The full DBSC Results for today's race are below:
