Flags indicate racing at Wave Regatta is cancelled at Howth today
Fog and light winds on the Dublin coast has led to the abandonment of racing on today's first day of Howth Yacht Club's new style Wave Regatta.
Three races were scheduled from 11am but attempts to get the 154-boat fleet under way were unsuccessful.
The three-day Regatta continues tomorrow with the club's traditional Lambay Races from 11am.

Wave Regatta provides Howth Yacht Club and the community on the Howth peninsula in County Dublin with a biennial keelboat racing event that aims to be the most attractive sailing event in Ireland.
Maximising many of the local natural resources and involving allied Howth businesses and services, it attracted competitors, visitors and others on its first staging in 2018 with a weekend-long spectacle establishing Howth as a destination of choice for sailors, visitors and allied marine tourism.
