GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES  COVID-19

The safety of participants and volunteers is of the utmost importance to the Waterfront Clubs and the Organising Committee of the Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta 2021.  We are working extremely hard to ensure a Covid-19 compliant Regatta shall be run over the two weekends in July.  The Regatta will comply with all current Government Guidelines relevant at that point in time. 

In the unlikely event this is not possible, all paid entrants will receive a full refund of their entry fee.
