Building on the success of the Christmas Cracker last year, Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club (DMYC) is proposing to repeat the race for 2022 at 1pm on Tuesday 27 December.

Afloat.ie understands that permission has been granted to run the event inside the harbour, while organisers are liaising with the other Dun Laoghaire waterfront clubs for members’ access to their dinghies during the usual Christmas shutdown period.

It’s hoped that an official announcement with Notice of Race will be made shortly.

Last year’s inaugural Christmas Cracker was won by Howth Yacht Club’s Eve McMahon, who’s on the shortlist for RTÉ Sport’s Young Sportsperson of the Year gong for 2022.
