X-34 Masters Shifty Conditions on DBSC Race Course

6th May 2012

#DBSC – In the cruisers one class there was a return to form for the Bay's Championship winning X-yacht design when 10-knot shifty winds from the north–east led to plenty of place changes across 19 classes in Saturday's Dublin Bay Sailing Club race. Colin Byrne's X-34 Xtravagance, the most successful yacht in the 2011 season, won in both IRC and ECHO handicaps. Last week's winner Gringo, a modified A35, skippered by DBSC commodore Tony Fox, was second and John Hall's J109 Something Else third in IRC.

In the one design classes Derek Mitchell's Ruff Nuff beat Diane ll (Andrew Claffey) in the Ruffian class with Ruff N Ready (Ann Kirwan et al) in third.
