Dinghies September League
September league for Class 1 and Class 2 dinghies starts Saturday Sept 4th.
- Class 1: First Gun at 14:30 and 1 all "in race" is planned. To accommodate the Cork Harbour Open Day, sailors who participate in the Cobh to Blackrock race will be given "average points for the series".
- Class 2: First gun is at 15:00. 2 races are planned.
Note: Boats should have sail numbers displayed on both sides of the sail (numbers should be higher on the starboard side). Without a sail number, it can be difficult to allocate results correctly - so please make sure your boat has them!
