While some major regattas of a national and international variety are scheduled for Dun Laoghaire later in the “summer”, the local regatta scene gets underway in two weeks when the Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club hosts the first of the four waterfront clubs’ 1-day regattas on Saturday 8th June.
Catering for a host of classes from Cruiser 0 to Cruiser 5a/5b, Sportsboats and One-Design classes, two-handed classes racing under PY and singlehanded PY classes, not to forget Howth 17s and Water Wags, there is something for everyone!
The organisation will see racing on three separate courses, with an 11:30 start signal for Course Cards B & C and a 12 noon start signal for Course Card A. (See below).
DMYC Regatta 2024 courses
The Entry Form and NoR for the DMYC regatta is live on their website but the regatta documentation will be consistent across all four waterfront clubs. Sailing Instructions and Course Cards will be available imminently, but this notice is a “raising of the flag” to promote awareness of the first regatta.
The DMYC regatta prize-giving will be at approximately 18:00 at the Club, followed by an outdoor BBQ, weather permitting, and entertainment.
The first entry to the DMYC regatta has already been received—an IDRA 14, while two members of the “bigger boat” community entered today (Friday).
DMYC looks forward to hosting you and your crew for the day’s racing and the onshore proceedings thereafter. Please get your entries in as soon as you can!
