Double Ree 2022 will be offering an attractive package to match LRYC's position as the current MG Motor "Sailing Club of the Year

In an era when solo dinghy stars seem to get much of the glamour attention, Lough Ree YC's Double Ree Regatta for four leading two-handed classes on 16th-17th July is poised to meet a popular demand as the weather settles into a much more summery pattern.

For the Mirror Class, it will include the Irish Nationals from the 15th to 17th July, while the RS Fevas, 420s and 29ers will have their sailing built around a more compact formula on the Saturday and Sunday, 16-17 July.

The inaugural Double Ree in 2020 was notably successful. Now with LRYC's shoreside reception and camping facilities further developed to match an improved "product" afloat, Double Ree 2022 will be offering an attractive package to match LRYC's position as the current MG Motor "Sailing Club of the Year".
