Dun Laoghaire Harbour delivered excellent sailing conditions for the 29 teams on the first day of the Elmo team racing trophy at the Royal St. George Yacht Club.
Racing is tight across the fleets, with early leaders coming from the home side at Dun Laoghaire.
As Afloat reported earlier, a record number of 174 sailors are involved in the two-day regatta.
Another 100 races are expected on Sunday, with finals expected to be sailed inside the harbour walls at 3 pm.
