Royal St. George's Fischer Leads DBSC's Beneteau 211 Saturday Series on Dublin Bay

Jimmy Fischer's Billy Whizz leads Dublin Bay Sailing Club's (DBSC) Beneteau 211 class in the Scratch, Saturday Overall AIB Summer Series.

The Royal St. George Yacht Club entry holds a three-point lead despite a dismasting at this month's Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta.

Fischer took second place yesterday afternoon with a new mast fitted for the four-boat race in strong westerly winds, which was won by Joe Smyth's Yikes of the Royal Irish. 

Overall, Smyth lies second on 19 points, with clubmate Pat Shannon on Beeswing lying third on 42 points. 

As Afloat reported previously, the race was the first successful Saturday fixture in July, with an unusually high number of weather cancellations.
