MBSC Christmas race - St. Stephen's Day
Six boats competed in the annual MBSC Christmas Race on St Stephens Day. Four Lasers and two 505s launched into a breesy 20 knots+ South south westerly for two windward leeward races.
Peter Scannel in his 505 crewed by Charles Dwyer took line honours in both races, but Ronan Kenneally in his Laser won the event on handicap.
A good crowed gathered in the Club afterwards for the Prizegiving and some light refreshments. Congratulations to Ronan and well done on filling the Cup.
