Update for the middle of the summer – It is going well; we have lots of kids down for both the Junior programs as well as the Performance programs this week which has created a lively atmosphere down at the club. Last week we had our Junior Regatta which by many accounts was a resounding success, especially the barbeque and ice cream afterwards, ice cream was a big hit with the marvelous weather we are experiencing at the moment. We have just had our busiest week of the year so far and it was great fun with a great atmosphere.

For the optimist fleet in regatta fleet, we had one of our own come first – Samuel McIntyre – this is a great testament to our junior programs and our coaches as well as the kids. In Main fleet we also had success with our oppies taking home 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place medals and vouchers from Viking Marine. Quick thank you to Paul Molloy for sorting the vouchers out. We also had success in PY Fleet with 1^st going to Julian O’Leary and Dylan Kennedy in their 29er. In Ilca 4s we had John Kenny from the George come 1^st  and Felix Crinion come 3^rd as well as Cian O’Flanagan in the Ilca 6 come 1^st as well. All in all it was a successful regatta for both the coaches and the kids.

To add to the busyness of last week we also had the Adventure group camping on Dalkey Island and experienced great weather. They cooked their own food and roasted smores over the fire. To add to events, we had fun day Friday, another resounding success thanks to the brilliant weather and sunshine and a fun barbeque afterwards.

New app for Sailing; Sail Robin

Member John Sheehy has just built a new app for sailing; Sail Robin.  From the day sailor, to the round the cans sailor, to the one design sailor, there’s  something for everyone.  

The app plots your course, tracks every sail, replays your performance, gives you the tools to coach yourself better, and connects you with the sailing community. It also allows you to upload your data from other devices such as a garmin watch or a vakaros.  The Sail Robin ‘Flight school’ can run the analytics on this data also.

It includes all the DBSC course cards, and for this weekend, it even includes the Regatta Course Card.  Just select the course,  start the timer, the app will do the rest…  

See sailrobin.com for more or contact john@sailrobin.com
