Congratulations to Raging Bull - IRL 9666, skipper and crew, ISORA 2010 Champions having pipped Just Enough - GBR 6912T by a mere two points in the overall rankings.
This year's successful, challenging and memorable eight offshore race series would not have been possible were it not for the determined vision and enormous organisational and co-operative skills demonstrated by all at the Irish Sea Offshore Racing Association and Royal Alfred Yacht Club. Take a bow!

Seconds from disaster
 |
| In challenging conditions, Pwllhelli RNLI lifeboat prepares to tow the yacht Galasma. (Photo: Hanna Nuuttila) |
Today I received through my letterbox a letter from Ken Robertson, ALB (All-Weather Lifeboat) Coxswain at Dun Laoghaire RNLI Lifeboat Station, appealing for support.
Included in the envelope was a small print of the above award-winning photograph entitled: 'Seconds from disaster'. It brilliantly captures the rough sea state and bad weather conditions during the rescue of the 35-foot Southerly yacht Galasma by the combined efforts of New Quay and Pwllheli RNLI Mersey Class all-weather lifeboats. The drama unfolded in the Irish Sea on the 6th September 2008.
I came across some controversial but interesting opinions held by one Oliver Shaw about the options he suggests the skipper of the Galasma had on the day at 'Rescue Photograph wins Award for Volunteer' (on the website sail-world.com); well worth the read if you have the time and proof that a good photograph can spark off a lively debate.
It was good to see that the print of the photograph
was properly credited to the photographer - Hanna Nuuttila. Hanna is a volunteer crewmember at New Quay RNLI Lifeboat Station in Wales. The photograph deservedly earned her the accolade of 'RNLI Photographer of the Year 2008'.A marine biologist by profession, Hanna Nuuttila has been carrying out some interesting research into the behaviour of dolphins and porpoises in Cardigan Bay of which you can read more at: 'Dolphins bully porpoises, researcher discovers' (link to an article in The Guardian newspaper on 11 May 2010). Further information about Hanna's interesting marine activities can be found at www.seamor.org

Back to RNLI Coxswain Ken Robertson's appeal...
Our volunteers are unpaid and risk their lives to save others. Without your help they couldn't rescue anyone. It costs over €30 to keep one of our lifeboats running at full speed for 5 minutes. The 5 vital minutes that your €30 (donation to the RNLI) could buy might make the difference between life and death for someone freezing in the icy waters off our shores.Interested in making that difference? If so, please click on How to Support the RNLI (link to RNLI official website).

Official Game set to be a Winner for Volvo Ocean Race
The wait is over for the fans of the Volvo Ocean Race Game. The extremely popular online game will be back for the next edition of the race, as the contract has now been signed between Volvo Ocean Race S.L.U and United Games, the designers of the Official Game. The game is set to be bigger and better than before with new features being tested already to improve the technical and tactical elements for the players.
Over 220,000 players participated in the game during the course of the 2008–09 Volvo Ocean Race, with prizes being given on every leg. The overall race winner was Dutch player Powerof7, whose hard work won him a Volvo C30.
The new and improved game will offer players more functionality to steer and manage their virtual Volvo Open 70s and their crew at the same time. Another exciting addition will be the new In-Port racing feature. These improvements and more will be tested prior to the start next year in a Beta version of the game. United Games and Volvo Ocean Race will be looking for volunteers to play this test game and will be publishing details on how the public can sign up early next year.
Knut Frostad, CEO of the Volvo Ocean Race, is very pleased with the continued partnership with United Games. “This is great news for the Volvo Ocean Race, as the Game was a huge success story from the past edition. It caught so many people’s imaginations and got thousands of people hooked into offshore racing. Of course, you can play the game from your home but some of the players were just as sleep-deprived as the crews on the boats; many people took it very seriously indeed. We can’t wait to see the improvements and get the feedback from the fans. I am sure this edition of the game will be even more of a success than the last.”
Marijn Harinck, CEO of United Games, said: “We’re excited about continuing to work with the Volvo Ocean Race. We’re committed to creating an even more engaging challenge for our players this time. The new version of the game will offer tons of new features including advanced weather options, routing options and integrated social media elements such as Twitter. The game will also be playable on social networks as well as on the leading smartphone platforms making it easier for players to stay on the right course.”
The largest online sailing community will set virtual sails again with the Volvo Ocean Race 2011–12.

Down But Not Out: Orna - IRL 532
What a difference a day makes! Orna - IRL 532, NYC (Grand Soleil 40) seen below on Friday 27th and on Sunday 29th August participating upright in MGM's Cruiser Challenge 2010. Flush with success from Cork Week 2010 her slip up in Dublin Bay (brilliantly captured by photographer Gareth Craig of fotosail.com) on Saturday 28th was as uncharacteristic as it was spectacular.

Minke Whale snapped during Round Ireland Yacht Race 2010
Courtesy of Padraig Whooley, Sightings Co-ordindator of Irish Whale & Dolphin Group (IWDG), the cetacean sighted and photographed by the crew of Miss Scarlett - IRL 4763 during the Round Ireland Yacht Race 20210 has been confirmed as a Minke whale. IWDG Sighting No. 15602 refers. The Minke whale was spotted at 12:20 hrs on the 25h June 2010 approximately 5 miles east of Maiden's Island off the County Antrim coast at position 54º57'·46N 05º36'·60W. It briefly surfaced in the North Channel swimming parallel to the boat (which was heading for the Irish Sea) before submerging. Shortly afterwards the whale resurfaced some distance away heading NEbN towards Scotland as Miss Scarlett kept it's course.
Learn about the Minke whale's profile HERE.
As the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group points out, public participation in recording cetaceans (dolphins, porpoises and whales) is encouraged. Being fortunate enough to observe a whale or dolphin in the wild is a wonderful experience in itself, but by being part of an all-Ireland recording scheme, your observations can make a significant contribution towards their conservation.
If you have sightings to report click on the 'Sightings' icon on the IWDG home page and then use the 'Report a sighting' option.

New Floating Breakwater Pontoon installed at the RStGYC
This month saw the installation of a new four-section floating breakwater pontoon at the Royal St George Yacht Club, Dun Laoghaire - close to Carlisle Pier. The unsinkable pontoons have a styrofoam core encased in reinforced concrete and have been designed to endure storms, floods and hurricanes. Thirty tonnes of heavy steel chain and twenty-four five-tonne anchor blocks buried in the mud in the harbour seabed are used to anchor the pontoons. Click on photo for higher resolution image.

ISORA 2010 Race 2 and RAYC & Lee Overlay Offshore Series Dun Laoghaire to North Arklow & back - A Roller Coaster Ride
In fresh to strong, Force 5 to Force 6, NE breezy conditions on the Irish Sea, Saturday 8th May, Race 2 of the ISORA 2010 series in association with the Royal Alfred Yacht Club & Lee Overlay Offshore Series - Dun Laoghaire to North Arklow Cardinal Mark and back - proved to be somewhat of a roller coaster ride from start to finish.
Commenting after the race, one skipper recounted: "It was the toughest race I have experienced so far in the ISORA. The wind was NE 20-25kts on the beam reach to broad reach in very rolling seas and beat back. The seas never let us settle into the groove and any mistakes were quickly punished with loss of places and/or wetting."
All in all, a challenging day for man, woman and machine but one which will last long in the memory for all who took part - helped (or maybe not helped!) by photographs from the event.
Congratulations to Raging Bull - IRL 9666 (Sigma 400) 1st in Class 1 and 1st Overall and to Tigh Soluis II - 2377C (J109) 1st in Class 2 and 2nd Overall. Line Honours went to Galileo - IRL 1944 (Beneteau 47.7), 2nd on IRC in Class 1 and 3rd Overall.

Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12 Racing Schedule
The 2011-12 Volvo Ocean Race will visit eight stopover ports on five continents and race through four oceans in under nine months. The Volvo Open 70's will cover 39,270 nautical miles racing around the globe.
The Fastnet Rock will be the last landmark the sailors will sail around before their final sprint up the west coast of Ireland to the finish in Galway. Hopefully the fleet will round Fastnet during daylight hours and allow for some iconic photographs to be taken.
Galway will be the first finish city in the race's history to hold an inshore race after the final leg. This will not only give the teams a chance to add valuable points to their overall scores but also allow the enthusiastic Irish fans to enjoy the racing on Galway Bay.
