Well Done NYC Volunteers on a Marvellous Volvo Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Race

The cadre of NYC volunteers who organised and ran last weekend’s wonderfully successful D2D race, deserve our thanks and praise.

Commodore Martin McCarthy noted and named the team at the Competitors briefing last Wednesday – and Vice Commodore Conor O’Regan praised their efforts when he attended the huge Prize giving dinner last Saturday in the Dingle Skelligs Hotel.

The Volvo Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Race was conceived by National Yacht Club stalwart, Martin Crotty and is now a major bi-ennial event under the able chairmanship of Adam Winkelmann.  This year’s event was dispatched off the East pier at 6pm on Wednesday 12th June 2019, and the first boats were crossing the finish line less than 25 hours later.
