There are 14 IDRAs entered in this years VDLR. First raced in 1947 from Dun Laoghaire, the IDRA 14, now equipped with a trapeze and spinnaker, remains one of the most popular two-person adult dinghy classes racing in Dublin Bay, with fleets currently based at Dun Laoghaire (DMYC and RStGYC), Clontarf and Sutton. Twenty-four boats (approximately three quarters of the active fleet) competed in the last regatta, and competition will be intense again this year, with former and present national champions Alan Carr, Alan Henry and Pat O’Neill all expected to take part. The class will also take its usual keen interest in social events during the regatta. Entry details here
