The 2014 Season starts tomorrrow

The Dublin Bay first race of the season is tomorrow. Its the first of 6 Sunday morning races ("called the Spring Chicken"). 77 Boats all racing against each other on modifed Echo. Temperatures will likely hit about 6 degrees max.

The forecast today is awful with Met Éireann issuing a status orange weather warning for Munster, Leinster, Connacht and parts of Ulster, with winds of up to 130km/h forecast.

Supposed to ease a little in the morning before building again - so we expect about 18-20 knots with 28-30 knot gusts. What a way to get started ! I'll let you know how we got on.

We are now entered for Cork Week 2014 in early July. I have just resubmitted the IRC cert to include Symmetric and Asymmetric spinnakers. So lots of training to do before then.

I am still looking to complete the crew so looking for a Mastman/woman and Tactician/team manager.

If you know anyone in Dublin ... ... ...
