Richard Goodbody's Royal Irish Yacht Club J109 White Mischief had a margin of just four seconds on corrected time (1:27:17) to win in a 10-boat IRC One race for the fifth race of the AIB DBSC Saturday Series on Saturday (May 24th) on Dublin Bay.
Racing was in a gusty southwesterly with offshore winds ranging from eight to 18 knots, which brought the restored five-boat DB21 fleet back to its moorings early.
Goodbody beat clubmate and sistership Chimaera, skippered by Barry Cunningham (1:27:21), in second, with last Saturday's winner, Colin Byrne, in the XP33, Bon Exemple third (1:31:18).
In Scotland, regular DBSC competitor Brian Hall's Something Else continues to lead IRC One in the Scottish Series, which concludes on Monday.
Chris Power-Smith's J122 Aurelai won the two-boat IRC Zero race.
Michael & Ben Ryan's Saki was the ECHO winner in Cruisers Three from Frank Guilfoyle's Papytoo. Third was Wyn McCormack's Wynward.
Colin O'Brien's Spirit won the Cruisers 5a (ECHO) race. Peter Richardson's Dehliverence was second. Playtime (Phillips, Kidney & Curtis) was third. Seven competitors competed.
On the one-design course, two races were sailed on the green course in the south of the Bay with a weather mark off the Sandycove shoreline.
Rowan Fogarty's Ventuno was the scratch winner of both races in a three-boat Beneteau 211 class turnout.
The National Yacht Club's John Lavery produced the same results in a 12-boat Flying Fifteen class as did Ian Simmington's J80 in a three-boat Sportsboat class.
