Spills and thrills on the Ocean waves High octane encounters on the ocean waves will bring a carnival atmosphere to Dingle this June as the Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Yacht Race kicks off this Saturday June 6th. Hosted by the National Yacht Club in association with Dingle Sailing Club (www.saildingle.ie), this race has earned a reputation of being one of the toughest challenges on the Irish Sea. After leaving Scotsman’s Bay, East of Dun Laoghaire, on June 6th, competitors shall tackle the seaward extremities of Wicklow Head, the Old Head of Kinsale, Fastnet Rock, Mizen Head, Gull Rock, Washerwoman Rock off the Great Skellig before finally arriving at the finish line at the entrance to Dingle Harbour. The sight of the yachts pulling into Dingle on June 8th is sure to prove some spectacle as the 40 ft+ beauties plough through the playground of Fungie the Dolphin. This is sure to be a tremendously exciting event with as Dingle and the surrounding area has several excellent vantages points along the coastline to view the yachts come into the harbour. In true Dingle style, the competitors will be greeted with a flurry of music, dance and celebration in recognition of their amazing achievement.
