Racing in Dublin Bay, Kinsale Harbour, Belfast Lough, Dun Laoghaire Harbour have been cancelled today due to Storm Ciara.

In fact, such was the extent of the deteriorating weather forecast many of the regatta organisers gave early notice to scrub racing yesterday.

However, racing in the shadow of a gale warning, Monkstown Bay's Laser League in Cork Harbour did take place yesterday as Afloat reports here

The DBSC Spring Chicken, Kinsale's Frostbite League Monkstown Bay's Laser League and DMYC's dinghy series are scheduled to sail again next Sunday.
