Laser
Vagos
Our three new Vagos arrived in mid June and are now sailing regularly.
For their first sea-trials we took a trip to Dalkey Island for a picnic, a sail
around the island, and an invigorating sail home as the wind freshened.
It was a tired but happy crew who decamped to the kitchen for a farewell drink
with Sidney.

RAYC
Regatta
Three dinghies took
part in the Royal Alfred regatta on June 16'th in the PY class.
There was some confusion with the organization on the water, which re-iterated
how important it is to understand the flags and sound signals.
Congratulations to Martina who finished second in Sceon, and to Brenda &
Nigel who finished third in Magno-2669. http://www.sailingindublin.ie/pictures/RAYC07winners.JPG
