Even with four times the entry of any other Irish regatta this year Volvo Dun Laoghaire organisers continue to push for entries for the capital's biggest sporting event on water in three weeks time. In a mail shot to Dublin Bay clubs this morning the event secretary is seeking a bigger turnout from the White Sail class, just one of 25 classes competing in the 450 boat fleet to date. In one of a number of new intitiatives this year the event will host an inaugural 'White Sail Cup' but the organisers believe many White Sail boats are still to enter. "There are 30 boats entered so far in this class but we're sure this can be doubled in the next three weeks" said Regatta Chairman Phil Smith, who is himself a white sail racer.
