Final Preparations in Place for Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta
23.02.15
With four weeks to go around 3,000 sailors are expected to start the biennial Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta (July 7th – 10th) organised by the four waterfront yacht clubs on the Southside of Dublin Bay . Entries are being received steadily in all 25 classes for the fourth edition of the regatta.
Already 380 boats have signed up for the regatta which will be the biggest sailing event in Ireland in 2011. The competing sailors are drawn from Dublin Bay yacht clubs as well as from across Ireland with added participation from English, Welsh, Scottish, Isle of Man, French, Spanish, German and Danish yacht clubs.
For many of the boats in the cruising classes, Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta 2011 will be the culmination of hard training and participation first at the ICRA National Championships at Royal Cork Yacht Club in Crosshaven (17th – 19th June) and then the Sovereign's Cup at Kinsale (22nd – 25th June.) When the first starting guns are fired in Dun Laoghaire on the afternoon of Thursday 7th July, the fleet form should be clearer based on the results from the earlier regattas.

23.02.93
The University of Rhode Island women’s sailing team captured the national dinghy championship by winning the final race in the Sperry Top-Sider/Intercollegiate Sailing Association Women’s National Championship on Thursday in Cascade Locks, Ore.
The five-member club team won the first national women’s small boat sailing title in the 75-year history of the sport at URI; the men’s team, which was a varsity squad at the time, took the championship in 1977.
URI bested a field that was largely dominated by varsity teams. Finishing behind URI in the top eight were Connecticut College, St. Mary’s (Md.), Brown, Yale, Old Dominion, Harvard and the Coast Guard
