| Relaunch of new Alfred Superleague next season
The Royal Alfred Yacht Club is relaunching the Superleague concept to a new generation of sailors in 2012 with the aim of rewarding the best boats, skippers and crews, across the whole season, in each class in Dublin Bay.
The Superleague will consist of 10 individual events/races - 6 Club Regattas - DMYC, RAYC Bloomsday, HYC, NYC, RIYC, RStGYC - together with 4 DBSC Saturday races - 1 in May, July, August and September. There will be 4 discards with 6 results to count. Bloomsday is non discardable. This will provide for very close overall results with final results in the balance right up to the last race in the series.
The Superleague will be open to all classes of keelboats in Dublin Bay. In 2011 there were 15 keelboat classes with 300 boats. Visitors from Howth or elsewhere will also be welcome. Entry fees will be modest and structured to reflect the number of crew in each class/boat.
