The strong easterly winds that cancelled Sunday morning's AIB DBSC Turkey Shoot Series have also led to the cancellation of this afternoon's in-harbour racing of the Viking Marine DMYC Frostbite Series at Dun Laoghaire.

 The strong winds produced a big sea state (as seen on the 3 x Afloat webcams) that led to the scrubbing of the 150-boat mixed dinghy fixture.

Racing continues next Sunday.
