The T-Bourke 'Dash for Cash' at Monkstown Bay Sailing Club is the main dinghy event in Cork Harbour this weekend. It will be sailed on Saturday, with First Gun at 1455.
This annual event is a mixed dinghy pursuit race, with a top prize of €300 for first overall; €100 for the first helm under 18 and €50 for the first Feva. It is based on RYA Portsmouth Yardstick system, widely used for dinghies but the race committee says it "may opt to change the format to a standard PY timed race at any stage."
