The superyacht Gitana made a return visit to Dublin Bay on Thursday afternoon (August 1st), nearly two weeks after her maiden call on July 20.

The Cayman Island flagged 45-metre sloop motored into Dublin Bay and anchored off Dun Laoghaire Harbour, making a busy scene at the harbour mouth as it coincided with the regular multi-class DBSC Thursday night yacht racing.

The Dubois design stayed overnight on her mooring.

The sleek design can accommodate up to eight guests in four staterooms with six crew members.

According to Boat International, Gitana is in the world's top 30% by length overall, one of 84 sailing yachts in the 45-50m range.
