'We're Gonna Need a Bigger Harbour' - DMYC Viking Marine Frostbite Fleet Set to Expand at Dun Laoghaire

2nd December 2021

The reopening of entries for the DMYC dinghy Frostbites offers them the chance to participate after Christmas, but potentially at the expense of sailors who entered Series 1 only

The Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club (DMYC) says that after analysis of entries for its Viking Marine DMYC Frostbite Series which allowed competitors the option to enter Series 1 before Christmas, or Series 2 after Christmas, or the combined Series, it has established that there were approximately 20 entries for Series 1 only, consequently, the club has reopened the entry system on www.dmyc.ie for Series 2.

The entry was capped in October at 120 dinghies. However, many regular DMYC competitors who may have been caught out by the fleet size limit, found themselves excluded.

The reopening of entries offers them the chance to participate after Christmas, but potentially at the expense of sailors who entered Series 1 only.

DMYC Organiser Neil Colin joked to Afloat: "I wonder would Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council like to make the harbour bigger to enable us to accommodate more entries?"
