28 boats made the 2010 IDRA 14 dinghy national championships something of a class record when they set sail at Lough Ree YC. The previous best was 26 in 2006). All six championship races and the crew's race were completed. Pat O'Neill and Jim O'Hara from Clontarf Yacht and Boat Club were first overall sailing Delos II. A special (liquid!) prize was awarded to 14/4 'Dusk' (Gary & Andy Sargent), whose rudder stock collapsed in very heavy winds during the first race. They took advantage of the Race Officer's postponement of the second race to travel back to Dublin, make a new stock, and get back to LRYC in time to come second in the event. Full results below:
