Sailors
The last race of the season started and ended in dramatic fashion.
Saturday was cold, windy and thoroughly winter. Despite that and an early start 3 boats ventured out for a beat to Spit & back.
The IRC fleet was disqualified at the start for use of engine. Not long after that Pladda II went a little too close to the beach and required some external assistance. The remaining yacht retired to help with rescue efforts. All returned to the marina intact.
Many thanks to the crews of LoughSwilly Lifeboat and Lough Swilly Atlantic for a quick launch and job well done.
