More Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Photography
Offshore racers Jedi, Aquelina and at least five J yacht designs – including George Sisk's new J111, Wow – are entered for next month's Dun Laoghaire to Dingle offshore sailing race (D2D) from the National Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire on June 11.
The last D2D race in June 2009 attracted 39 entries and a course record was set by Michael Cotter's Whisper. This year, organisers Martin Crotty and Brian Barry along with Dingle Harbour master Brian Farrell remain confident that they will break the 40 boat barrier. They may well be right as the event has been specifically timed to bring Dublin boats to the south coast for ten days of racing at the ICRA Nationals in Cork Harbour and the Sovereigns Cup the following week in Kinsale.
The event is also benefitting from inclusion in this year's ISORA calendar.
With just under a month to the start of the race 19 boats are officially entered (see table below) for the 320-miler but the National's Olivier Proveur says the club also expects the following: Tsunami (Beneteau 40.7 – Vincent Farrell), Quite Correct (Beneteau 54DS – John Roberts), Class 40 (Alan McGettigan), English Mick, Sailing West Intuition, Raging Bull (Sigma 400), Legally Brunette, Saxon Senator and Dublin Bay yacht Tiamat may also enter.
