We’ll be back on the water 10 – 13 July 2025 !
It’s 20 years since the first Dún Laoghaire Regatta, and the team are working hard already to bring you excellent sailing on a variety of courses, whether one-design or handicap, dinghy or keelboat. Our waterfront clubs will provide a social scene not to be missed, and we are planning some innovation mixed with the traditional features both ashore and afloat. Keep coming back here to check!
We are also very conscious that visiting crews need affordable convenient accommodation, and we have a dedicated team member sourcing same – watch out for a dedicated visitor’s information page coming soon.
The VDLR is calling for volunteers, both within and outside the sailing community, to contribute to all areas of the event in 2025, with some opportunities starting in 2024 and increasing throughout the next 12 months.
If you are interested please contact Paddy Boyd, the Event Director, at ed@dlregatta.org
