Light wind, light fleet

With many of the Toppers sailing in Dun Laoghaire in their own event rather than the Frostbites and several other people staying onshore to watch the rugby, the fleet was a little light this weekend. A light fleet matched the light wind, which was a classic example of Frostbite Flukey.  You can see the slow speeds in the OK Dinghy's GPS track here.

Nice roll tack, but what's the bit of duct-tape?

In the PY fleet the IDRA14s and the OK Dinghy sailed away on the water, with Frank Hamilton's IDRA14 taking the win by more than 2 minutes over Sheehy's OK Dinghy, but all four of these finishing more than 6 mins clear of the next boat.  This pattern was repeated in all the fleets.

Dave Cahill continued his domination in the Lasers, taking a huge win from Conor O'Leary.  Even in a reduced fleet there were 15 boats racing.

The RS fleet saw Emmet Ryan sail to a monster win in his RS400. He finished legs ahead and more than 4 mins clear on corrected time.  Andrew Algeo was 2nd in another RS400.

Victory in the Fireballs went to Conor Clancy, with Butler and Rumball taking 2nd and 3rd.

All in all a quiet day for sailing, but good fun again!
