The 52nd annual Sea Scout sailing regatta took place in testing conditions on Malahide’s inner estuary on 15th October.
Malahide Yacht Club provided the race committee with a warm welcome to its Broadmeadows facility for the day of team racing and seamanship challenges.
Gusty westerly winds made for challenging sailing for Sea Scouts from around Ireland.
While there have been strong showings from Howth and Galway Sea Scouts in recent years, this year it was Malahide Sea Scouts Lir Troop which dominated proceedings.
It won the team racing competition, the seamanship trophy, the Albatross individual trophy (named after the Sea Scouts former training centre on the LS Albatross lightship) and the Centenary Cup for the best scoring boat of the day.
