Speaking at the prize giving Alan Carr, skipper of IDRA 14 / 38 and winner of the Carlsberg Cup said "On behalf of the IDRA class, I want to thank the Commodore Aidan Henry and his team for hosting a brilliant regatta. This has been a remarkable event. I have been sailing at Sutton Dinghy Club for over 40 years and have never seen a regatta like it. There were 90 entries from over half a dozen clubs. It was great to see so many junior sailors involved. The racing was brilliantly organized. Onshore and on the water, the whole regatta was expertly run. I want to thank you Aidan, our commodore, and your team for putting on such a marvellous event. We all appreciate the extraordinary work you have done."

A fantastic day was had by all for the for the SDC Regatta on Sunday. 89 boats entered, with 51 Boats from Sutton. There was great support from all the clubs with entries from Courtown SC (3), Howth YC ( 9), Royal St. George YC(2), Malahide YC (8), Skerries SC(3) and CY&BC (12) There were 14 entries in the main fleet with two races held in challenging weather but unfortunately during their break the wind dropped considerably.

The Oppies were out in full force with 19 junior sailors on the inshore course guided by Wendy Rudd and Alan Blay. They had two races before the wind dropped.



The tuck shop was in full swing all day and at the finish of racing Barbque Burgers and refreshments were available organised by Caroline Farrelly and her team.
Thank you to all who helped to organise this very important Event in the SDC diary.
