Dear Skippers,
Only a few days to the start now and the excitement is building. I hope all preparations are coming along well. We now have 41 entries and are expecting a few more before the deadline for entering by tomorrow May 30th.
Below is an update and reminder on some essential information to help you planning your participation in the Volvo Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Race 2025! Please follow up on the relevant bookings as soon as possible. I particularly request that you make any hotel bookings and also book your team for the Prizegiving Party as soon as you can so the Dingle Skellig can plan catering and release unused rooms etc.. Also the catering team in the NYC are trying to ensure adequate catering so please book for the briefing on June 10th - to confirm the 2 boat representatives will receive a complimentary fork supper in the NYC dining room.
Myself and the team look forward to welcoming you all to the NYC prior to the start.
Regards
Adam Winkelmann
Race Chairman
