DBSC Series - Tuesdays Overall

Having come to the end of mid week racing for this season the following are the overall results for Tuesdays:-

1st              Tiller Girl  77        The Amy Cup

2nd             Jill  134

3rd             Oonagh  11          The Stella Cup

 

DBSC Series 3 (Tuesdays)

Congratulations to Jill (134) for winning the Series 3 Tuesdays.  Tiller Girl (77) was 2nd and Oonagh (11) 3rd.

Loving Cup

Congratulations to Jill 134 for winning The Loving Cup (AKA Family Race) in very testing conditions.  Paul Smith helmed the race and was ably crewed and presumably loved (a race requirement) by his wife Anne and daughter Orla.  Lively Lady 73 made a brave but unsuccessful attempt to defend their title which was won the prevous year in Una C.  Lively Lady was helmed by Geraldine O'Neill and crewed by Mick Hanney and Sheila O'Neill.  An attempt was made to run the race for The Intrepid Trophy (single-handed race) in the harbour on the morning of the same day but due to a combination of strong winds and inadequate and sloppy crewing the captain in her wisdom decided to postpone this to a later date.  Her decision was applauded by all concerned.

Captains Prize

Congratulation to Jill (134), helmed by Pat Mangan and crewed by Anne and Paul Smith for winning the captain's prize last Saturday 18th July.  It was a closely fought contest in perfect conditions.  Geraldine O'Neill and Mick Hanney having revitalised the well known Lively Lady (73), came a very close 2nd by a margin of 4 seconds on corrected time.  They were ably crewed by Ailbhe Smith.
