Royal Irish’s Maybury Wins New DBSC Spring Chicken Trophy

John Maybury’s J109 Joker II crew from the Royal Irish Yacht Club made the best of a blustery run down to the Muglins Rock in the final race to claim the new overall prize in the Dublin Bay Sailing Club’s 2025 Spring Chicken Series on Sunday (March 23).

Due to its fragility, the organisers retired the Jasmin Trophy for the series after many years, replacing it with the brand-new Spring Chicken Cup for the 2025 series, donated by former DBSC Commodore Pat Shannon and presented by him to multi-champion Maybury at Sunday’s  National Yacht Club prizegiving.
