Brendan Foley's 'Allig8r' from the Royal St. George Yacht Club, was the winner of Thursday night's AIB-sponsored Dublin Bay Sailing Club IRC Two race on Dublin Bay.
Foley beat clubmate and overall series leader Lindsay Casey's J97, Windjammer. Third was Dave Gould's three-quarter tonner, Scenario Encore.
As Afloat reported previously, renamed 'Allig8r', the First Class 8 is under the new ownership of a Dublin Bay syndicate of six friends Paddy Ryan, Mark Hennessy, Peter Levins, Colm O'Buachalla, Conor Twomey and Foley. Regular Afloat readers will recall her as the black-hulled 2018 Cork Week champion, skippered by Rory Fekkes from Carrickfergus Sailing Club.
Casey continues to lead Cruisers 2 IRC Thursday overall but is now on the same 16 points as Foley. The recent ISORA coastal race winner, Leslie Parnell's First 34.7 Black Velvet, lies third on 30 points.
There was a good turnout in all classes for last night's race in medium-westerly winds.
