Dublin Bay 21

[2] The seven sisters[3] The class is now being rebuilt following a long period out of service when the fleet lay in various states of disrepair in Jack Tyrrell's boatyard in Arklow, County Wicklow.

Two 21s sank in the storm, suffering the same fate as their sister ship Estelle four years earlier.

Oola is currently being rebuilt and due to sail again in 2024 while the frames are constructed for Maureen and Inisfallen who will hopefully be back on the water by 2025.

While a spinnaker is facilitated it has not been installed which makes for easier handling as the art of sailing classic boats is brought back into being.

Unfortunately, this rig put previously unforeseen loads on the hulls, resulting in some permanent damage.
