SDC REGATTA 2010

Record Turnout for Sutton Dinghy Club Regatta 114 boats entered, 155 competitors on the water and 8 clubs represented in what is a record for SDC and probably also for a small dinghies-only club in Ireland.





Conditions could not have been better with a fairly steady westerly breeze F3-4 and a flat sea. The fleet was split in to two sections - an "inshore fleet" with novice Optimists, Mirrors and Picos ( 44 boats) sailed in front of the clubhouse while the "offshore fleet" (70 boats) sailed a little further out, south of the Martello Tower.

This fleet was further divided into an outer Olympic type course for GP14s (2), IDRA14s (13) and Lasers (23) and an inner Olympic type course for Fevas (7) and Optimists (25).
On the "offshore" course, Alan Henry and crew Simon Revill scores two firsts to take the IDRA 14 title from Gary and Andy Sargent.

The Fevas title went to Claude Mollard and Ben Jennings followed by Louise Flynn-Byrne and Jennifer Harris while in the Lasers, Ian Beatty-Orr (Std), Catherine Hilliard (Radial) and Michael Donnelly (4.7) took the honours.
The Optimist winner was Cian Buckley who pipped Alex O'Grady on a tie-break.

On the "inshore" course, Darel and Callum Clarke won the Mirror prize with Holly Mulcahy and Issy Clancy taking the Novice prize. Billy Keenan had two bullets to take the Pico prize and Gemma McDowell was best of the Optimist Novices.
