L to R: Adam Winkelmann Post Regatta Chairman. Ronan Beirne Commodore. William Despard Sponsor & Susan Spain Rear Commodore.

Dear fellow member,

This year’s combined clubs Regatta, www.dlregatta.org , will be the biggest and best ever – with more boats (400+) and more participants (2,000+) than ever, making it the third biggest sailing event in UK and Ireland this year.
It will be very special, as part of the Harbour 200th program and with the new Classic boat series.

Extract from the Presidents speech 31st May:

“Over the past number of years Dún Laoghaire has played host to some of the most prestigious European and World sailing championships and will, next year, host the World Laser Masters Championship

The ceremony will take place on Wednesday 31st May 2017, 200 years to the day when the first stone of the harbour was laid.

The commemoration will begin with the arrival of the President at 14:30

At approximately 15:00 there will be a 21 Gun Salute from the East Battery followed by a fly past by two of the Air Corps aircraft (coming from direction of Killiney Hill)
