24th May 2013

22 offshore yachts are confirmed for the start of the National YC's Dingle Skellig Hotel Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Race 2013 on Friday 7th June. See entry list below and also downloadable as an attached excel file.

As well as a large proportion of Dun Laoghaire's ISORA crews this year's race benefits from having Royal Cork's Antix on the startline. The former Commododre's Cup winner will use the race as a feeder for June 13th's ICRA Nationals in Fenit, Co. Kerry.

2011 winner Martin Breen's Reflex 38 is back as well as ISORA's potent J109 trio, Joker II, Jedi and newcomer Ruth of the host club.

There are four double handed entries in the two-handed division.

All boats will be equipped with GPS trackers for the race.

Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Yacht Race Information

The biennial Dun Laoghaire to Dingle race is a 320-miles race down to the east coast of Ireland, across the south coast and into Dingle harbour in County Kerry.

The race is organised by the National Yacht Club.

It never fails to offer a full range of weather, wind and tide to the intrepid entrants, ranging from a 32ft cruiser to a 79ft all-out racer.

Three divisions are available to enter: cruiser (boats equipped with furlers), racing (the bulk of the fleet) and also two-handed.

D2D Course change overruled

In 2019, the organisers considered changing the course to allow boats to select routes close to shore by removing the requirement to go outside Islands and Lighthouses en route, but following input from regular participants, the National Yacht Club decided to stick with the tried and tested course route in order to be fair to large and smaller boats and to keep race records intact.

D2D Course record time

Mick Cotter’s 78ft Whisper established the 1 day and 48 minutes course record for the Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Race in 2009 and that time stood until 2019 when Cotter returned to beat his own record but only just, the Dun Laoghaire helmsman crossing the line in Kerry to shave just 20 seconds off his 2009 time.
