THIS is the largest Regatta in Ireland and on the Western sea board of the British Isles,” Tim Goodbody, Chairman of the Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta 2017, tells Gazette- Sport, confirming it is all hands-on deck for this biennial event.
Two sailing regattas this week, on opposite coasts, have succeeded in mustering a large proportion of Ireland’s boating community. And both, in turn have their own spectacles on offer although for different reasons. On Dublin Bay, the biennial Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta begins this afternoon with an official turnout of 475 boats although this is widely predicted to top 490 entries when latecomers are facilitated. And at Cill Ronan in the Aran Islands, the annual West of Ireland Offshore Racing Association week got underway yesterday where 45 boats have made the journey to the outskirts of Galway Bay.
The IRC Offshore class will each be carrying a ‘Yellowbrick’ tracker unit on the boat’s pushpit, which allows full live-action race tracking from anywhere!
The three Best Dressed Ladies that attend the Ino Wine & Bellinter House Hotel Ladies Lunch in The National Yacht Club, Royal Irish Yacht Club, or Royal St George Yacht Club this Saturday are going to win some fabulous prizes!
The Offshore Championship will now be decided by the four offshore races during the VDLR.
The racing committee have made eleven amendments to the Sailing Instructions
