Supernova Lights up Cruisers III on Dublin Bay

12th May 2012

#DBSC – West north west winds ranging in strength from 9 knots to 20 brought Cruisers III Supernova (Shannon, Lawless, McCormack) its first wn of the Dublin Bay Sailing Club (DBSC) season this afternoon winning all four divisions of the new Cruisers III set-up for 2012.

In a big turnout in all classes for the third Saturday of the season Dublin bay also played host to the SB20 East coast championships.

Quest sailed by Jonathan Skerritt (who won the April 28th race) was second in Cruisers III A division on IRC handicap to the Bay champion Supernova with Jerry O'Neill's Jammie Dodger third.

There was no ISORA fixture so some of the offshore crews were back racing on inshore courses but a J109 winner offshore Joker II had to be content with third in Cruisers one. The Cruisers one race was won by the brand new J109 Ruth skippered by Liam Shanahan of the National Yacht Club.

In the one design classes the Squibs appear to have survived last week's leeward mark grounding in the shallows off Seapoint. Vicent Delaney's Femme Fatale won from Perfection (Jill Fleming). Third was Nimble (Brian O'Hare).
