Melges15 Dinghy Fleet Makes Dublin Bay Landfall

12 new Melges15 dinghy arrivals are prepared for action on Dun Laoghaire's Carlisle Pier

There was great excitement at Dun Laoghaire Harbour as the new Dublin Bay Melges 15 fleet arrived via container from Portugal this week. 

The fleet of 12 was unpacked and sorted with boats heading to different clubs on the bay.

Racing will start next Wednesday night, and details of trial days will be announced shortly, new class captain and promoter John Sheehy told Afloat.

The Melges 15 dinghy, is a new double-handed dinghy that has been successful in the US and launches in Europe this summer, with its first European fleet set for Dublin Bay as Afloat reported here in January.

A few boats are still available for sale, and all enquiries can be sent to the class captain, johnsheehy2011@gmail.com
