J109s Set for Competitive Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta

The reigning ICRA National Champion and IRC European Champion is one of five J109s entered in Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta before next week’s early bird entry deadline for Ireland’s biggest sailing event. The Johnny Murphy skippered Howth-based J109 Outrajeous that swept the boards in 2024 will be on the Dun Laoghaire line but will face strong Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland competition along with a new arrival from Murphy’s home port. Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club J109s, Robin Young’s Jings, and John Stanley Whyte’s Blue Jay are two early Scottish entries, along with Brian Dixon’s Corby 36 Gelert from Pwllheli Sailing Club in North Wales.
