With twenty-one classes, many of them availing of an ongoing Performance Handicap system, the four-day Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta could quickly have become a results-posting nightmare. But behind the scenes at command HQ, Ian Bowring of the Royal St. George Yacht Club and Jenny Needham of Dun Laoghaire Marina gave freely of their time and expertise in keeping the number-crunching running smoothly, earning everyone's profound gratitude and a Sailors of the Month title for July.

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.
Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
