DBSC announces the AIB DBSC Royal Alfred Yacht Club Super League Cup

DBSC is delighted to introduce the AIB DBSC Royal Alfred Yacht Club Super League Cup to take place during the 2025 AIB DBSC racing season. This is a reintroduction of the Royal Alfred Coastal Races and the RAYC Super League that used to run in the early 1980s. The RAYC has now been incorporated into DBSC for many years, so it is only fitting for this Series to be raced under the DBSC and RAYC Burgees. 

This Super League will be held over three series. 

These races will also count towards the AIB Summer Series. The extra discards for this RAYC Super League series will not apply towards normal AIB DBSC Summer Series Scores 

SERIES ONE 

The first three Saturdays in May during DBSC normal racing 

  • Saturday 3rd May 
  • Saturday 10th May
  • Saturday 17th May 

SERIES TWO 

Three Saturday Coastal Races 

  • Saturday 7th June 
  • Saturday 19th July 
  • Saturday 9th August 

SERIES THREE 

The last three Saturdays in September during DBSC normal racing 

  • Saturday 13th September 
  • Saturday 20th September 
  • Saturday 27th September 

The AIB DBSC RAYC Super League and Coastal Races will include the following classes: 

Cruiser 0, Cruiser 1, B 31.7, Cruiser 2, Cruiser 4/5 

There are 9 races in total, 6 races to count with one discard per series. 

Boats will carry their series places forward for the total overall Super League rather than their total scores per series. 

For example, 1st place in series one will carry forward as 1 point at the start of Series two and acombined first and third place would carry forward 4 points for series 3. 

Prizegiving for the Super League Series will be on 27th September after racing in the RIYC. 

Looking forward to seeing you all out on the water!
