DUBLIN BAY – THE CRADLE OF YACHT RACING

DUBLIN BAY – THE CRADLE OF YACHT RACING

by Hal Sisk
Amateur Competitive Sailing—
Where and when did our sport emerge?
Who took the lead?
Who wrote the rules?

This 53 page publication rewrites the origins of yacht racing. The worldwide phenomenon of competitive sailing for fun is much younger than older forms of yachting.

Yachting historian Hal Sisk describes how the worldwide sport of yacht and dinghy racing was popularised and formatted by the pioneering yachtsmen of Dublin Bay.
