Telltale at the Northerns: Pumper and Cathal win the shifts
Six boats from the Dun Laoghaire fleet headed north to Portaferry on a dirty night with a split in the fleet established early. Some paid the Queen's shilling and took the obvious route on the Strangford ferry, while others went the long way around to save a few quid for the bar.
Pumper was first up packing in the pints, with wee Davie showing off his ff tattoo. Capt Coal Harbour arrived but didn't make the club. He had to entertain his international crew.
Telltale's back, and love is turning Dun Laoghaire Fifteeners inside out
After many years in the wilderness, Telltale has emerged from the gloom to provide that “extra insight” into the Dun Laoghaire Flying Fifteen Fleet.
As always Telltale will not reveal his/her identity or any sources but will continue to apply the highest journalistic standard to ensure that no one has to believe everything Christie writes.
Dublin Bay leaders to stand out with yellow spinnaker
Dun Laoghaire Flying Fifteens have borrowed the Tour de France's yellow jersey concept to introduce a special leaders' spinnaker on Dublin Bay.
The lead boat in the series will fly the yellow spinnaker, which is supported by DLFF main sponsor Mitsubishi Motors.
It is understood that use of the trophy kite will be spread among the gold, silver and bronze fleets.
