The European Laser 4.7 championships- scheduled for the 21- 27 July in Dublin Bay promises to be the biggest youth sailing event ever on Dublin Bay with over 200 entries from 23 countries already posted.
The opening ceremony will be attended by Goran Pettersson, Head of the ISAF. The flag raising ceremony will take place at 6pm on Saturday July 21st at the Dun Laoghaire Harbour Plaza.
We expect the final entry to be around 250 boats and everything involving that number requires a lot of planning. Despite the fact that entries do not close until 8th June, just under 200 sailors have already signed up from 22 countries, including Poland, Russia, Andorra, Austria, Belgium and Czech Republic.
The event is heavily supported by Dublin business community - most notably by Laser Card, the new Royal Marine Hotel, Ballygowan and Renewco Energy.
