With 75 boats racing for in its first outing last Sunday now there is a real prospect that the Viking Marine DBSC Turkey Shoot Sailing Series will make 100 entries for the first time. The spectacle of boats racing in November has captured the hearts and minds of many Dubliners who otherwise look out at an empty Bay. Last Sunday was a particular highlight with 15 knot winds and bright winter sunshine. Jim McCann's Peridot (a Mustang 30) from the Royal Irish YC won the first race under ECHO handicap beating the Beneteau 31.7 Magic (Donal O'Sullivan and David Espey).
