A DMYC Committee meeting held this weekend has decided to abandon plans for its inaugural Christmas Dinghy Challenge at Dun Laoghaire Harbour.
As Afloat previously reported, the event was scheduled in anticipation of the lifting of Level 3 restrictions this weekend but the club's Neil Colin told Afloat, "A change in direction of the tide (Pandemic Numbers, coupled with the NPHET commentary, and anticipated relaxation that has not occurred) have led us to abandon the Christmas Challenge"
The DMYC is celebrating 50 years of winter sailing organisation this year.
The club has removed its online registration system and any entry fees will be refunded, according to Colin.
"These are sad times but we look forward to fair winds in 2021, and want to ensure everyone remains as safe as possible", he added
