Huge crowds are expected at the Dún Laoghaire Regatta later today and music fans are soaking up the sun at the Longitude Festival in Dublin.
A sea breeze brought changes to the leader board in several classes in the penultimate day of Ireland’s biggest sailing regatta, the Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta on Dublin Bay today.

Despite good racing conditions inside Dublin Bay yesterday, light winds frustrated many of the classes competing in the long coastal course of the Volvo Dún Laoghaire Regatta, which was shortened by late afternoon off Bray.
Glass-like conditions outside Dublin Bay made for a testing coastal course on the second day of racing for the Volvo Dún Laoghaire Regatta.
As the second half of the Volvo Dún LAoghaire Regatta awaits its start later this morning, organisers opted to postpone the start of racing by one hour, apparently due to the calm wind forecast.

As Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta 2017 reaches its halfway stage, overall leaderboards are shaping up across 35 racing classes. The so far light wind seventh edition of Ireland’s biggest sailing event has produced some impressive performances on the water where in some classes leaders are counting straight wins after two full days of racing.
