Mother nature continued to smile on Dublin Bay Sailing Club's Spring Chicken 2010 series. Race 3 was held on Sunday 14 Feb 2010 in perfect conditions as we reached the halfway mark of the series.
This week's race was sailed over a new and longer course which provided plenty of technical challenges and additional enjoyment in equal measure. To the delight of early strollers turned spectators on East Pier, Dun Laoghaire, the fleet sailed close to the harbour mouth after rounding the leeward mark at the end of each lap.

For Miss Scarlett - IRL 4763, which clearly loves to win, it was business as usual as St. Valentine presented the crew with Line Honours for the second consecutive week! The crew's chances had certainly been bolstered by the addition of two new crew members for the occasion. One of them must certainly be in the running for the title of 'Youngest Spring Chicken' in the history of the event!?

Race 3 winner under Echo Handicap was Pippa IV - IRL 4281 (Sigma 33). After three races, Team Windmill - IRL 8088, RStGYC (J109) lies in overall 1st place after a masterful performance this week.
