Hello and Welcome to the Volvo D2D Race 2025,

​

The 2025 Volvo Dun Laoghaire to Dingle “D2D” Race will start from the National Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire on the afternoon of Wednesday June 11th, 2025 at 14.00hrs (tbc). This will be the 32nd anniversary of the year of the first D2D race!!

 

We had 42 entries confirmed in 2023 and are greatly looking forward to the start and of course the finish in Dingle in 2025!!

The race also forms part of the Irish Sea Offshore Racing (ISORA) series and we greatly look forward to welcoming our ISORA fleet competitors again. We thank ISORA and RORC for their ongoing involvement with the race.

​

We have as always a great welcome planned for all in Dingle.

​

I want to thank our long term wonderful main sponsors Volvo Car Ireland (represented in Kerry by Billy Naughton Motors) and the Dingle Skellig Hotel where we will hold the prizegiving party on Saturday June 14th scheduled for 7pm. Thanks also to the National Yacht Club members, flag officers and staff for their efforts in supporting the race. Also, special thanks to my team of volunteers on the race management side. Thanks also to DBSC for lending us equipment and volunteers for the on water support.

​

But mainly thanks to all the competitors over the years for supporting the race and hopefully taking part once again in 2025.

The race will be covered by our marketing partner Afloat at www.afloat.ie including access to race tracking.
