The dinghy season opened after the opening day lunch on Sunday with 8 boats on the water. It was encouraging to see a new generation of young sailors taking the helms of their own vessels as well as members new to the club taking part. Winds were light and flukey, making for some tactical sailing in the first race. Not all persisted in the taxing conditions but the winners were - 1st Weeble, Laser II (Caoimhe McKenna & Robert Nicholls), 2nd Stephen Doherty in a Topaz Uno, 3rd Jack Hutton in a Topper. The 2nd race was abandoned by popular consent in favour of capsize drills. It is good to see that the young generation take safety seriously. All in all it was a good start to the season and I look forward to the continued growth of dinghy sailing at the club. Paul McSorley
