The Dublin Bay 21 footer yacht is a one-design wooden sailing boat designed for sailing in Dublin Bay. The seven yachts were designed by Alfred Mylne and built between 1903 and 1906 under a commission from the old Dublin Bay Sailing Club to encourage inexpensive one-design racing in recognotion of the success of the Water Wag one-design of 1887 and the Colleen Class of 1897. They may be the oldest class of racing keelboat yacht in the world.[1] The first race took place on 19 June 1903 in Dublin Bay.[2] List of boatsThe seven sisters[3]
The class is now defunct and the fleet lay in various states of disrepair in Jack Tyrrell's boatyard in Arklow, Co. Wicklow. The fleet were taken out of the water in 1986 after Hurricane Charley ruined active Dublin Bay 21 fleet racing in August of that year. Two 21s sank in the storm, suffering the same fate as their sister ship Estelle four years earlier.[4] It is said that these boats present one of the loveliest sights to be seen on any sailing waters in the world.[1] DimensionsOverall length- 32'-6' Beam- 7'-6" Keel lead- 2 tons. Sail area- 600sq.ft. Change of rigIn 1964, some of the owners thought that the boats were outdated, and needed a new breath of fresh air. After extensive discussions between all the owners, the gaff rig and timber mast was abandoned in favour of a more fashionable Bermudan rig with an aluminium mast. Unfortunately, this rig put previously unseen loads on the hulls, resulting in some permanent damage.{{cn|date=June 2015}} References1. ^1 Kilkenny City Online {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071117092402/http://www.kilkennycityonline.com/commun_15_d.asp?ID=60&redirect=1 |date=November 17, 2007 }} {{Dublin Bay One Designs}}{{ship-type-stub}}2. ^The Twenty-Ones and the Joyce of Sailing by Fionan de Barra 3. ^{{cite web |title=Mylne's Register of Yachts 2012 |publisher=Mylne Yacht Design |date=2012-10-12 |url=http://www.mylne.com/media/pdfs/Mylne_Register_2012.pdf |accessdate=2014-01-26 }} 4. ^Class of 21 deserves some loving care 1 : Keelboats |
