#DBSC –Dick Lovegrove's Rupert was the winner of today's DBSC Sigma 33 race. Royal St. George club mate Paddy Maguire on the helm of Gwili Two was second and A. Bell sailing Miss Behavin third. It was a spectacular afternoon for sailing with 15–knot north easterly breezes but unfortunately inshore, in Seapoint Bay, the dinghy fleet suffered a lack of wind and elsewhere it was decidely flukey.

There was a reduced turnout in Dublin Bay Sailing Club's cruiser divisions for today's racing with attention focused on results across the bay in Howth at the BMW ICRA Natinoals. The Dragon class was also diverted to the National Yacht Club's staging of the 18-boat east coast championships.

In a wind starved corner of Dublin Bay Hugh Sheehy's OK Dinghy won both races of the day, with a margin of two seconds in one and nearly a minute in the other. That puts the OK clearly in the lead of the Saturday series.

#DBSC – Jonathan and Chris Nicholson's Red Rhum made the most of the easterly winds and big seas for today's Dublin Bay Sailing Club race even though the veteran DB1 cruiser was chased hard by Mervyn Dyke's Jawesome J80 for IRC handicap honours. Red Rhum from the Royal St. George YC also took ECHO honours with Jim McCann's Mustang 30 Peridot second.

The one design divisions were reduced because the Royal Alfred's annual Baily Bowl competition for Squibs, Dragons and RS Elites is also being staged on Dublin Bay at the Royal St. George YC.

Dublin Bay Sailing Club (DBSC) is one of Europe's biggest yacht racing clubs. It has almost sixteen hundred elected members. It presents more than 100 perpetual trophies each season some dating back to 1884. It provides weekly racing for upwards of 360 yachts, ranging from ocean-going forty footers to small dinghies for juniors.

Undaunted by austerity and encircling gloom, Dublin Bay Sailing Club (DBSC), supported by an institutional memory of one hundred and twenty-nine years of racing and having survived two world wars, a civil war and not to mention the nineteen-thirties depression, it continues to present its racing programme year after year as a cherished Dublin sporting institution.

The DBSC formula that, over the years, has worked very well for Dun Laoghaire sailors. As ever DBSC start racing at the end of April and finish at the end of September. The current commodore is Eddie Totterdell of the National Yacht Club.

The character of racing remains broadly the same in recent times, with starts and finishes at Club's two committee boats, one of them DBSC's new flagship, the Freebird. The latter will also service dinghy racing on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Having more in the way of creature comfort than the John T. Biggs, it has enabled the dinghy sub-committee to attract a regular team to manage its races, very much as happened in the case of MacLir and more recently with the Spirit of the Irish. The expectation is that this will raise the quality of dinghy race management, which, operating as it did on a class quota system, had tended to suffer from a lack of continuity.
