Home star Supernova wins in Dublin Bay

LIGHT winds on Dublin Bay ended the Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta in marked contrast to Thursday’s opening race near gale conditions and left close results across the fleet before the overall prize was awarded to the class two entry Supernova from the host port.

After replacing their broken mast on Friday, Anthony O’Leary’s 1720 Antix Beag hauled up the Class One standings but although each of the class leaders used their discards to drop one maximum points race from their respective series scores, the Cork skipper placed third in the end.

Instead, local John Hall on his J109 Something Else delivered all top three results to win the class.
