On Saturday 7 July 2012,  the Royal St George YC will celebrate its 174th regatta  proudly sponsorsed by Frank Keane BMW of Blackrock. Since the construction of this fine Victorian harbour in 1820, Dun Laoghaire with its fine waterfront yacht clubs has been a focal point for yacht racing & sailing in Dublin. The first recorded Kingtown Regatta was in 1828. 

This year, the Frank Keane BMW George Yacht Regatta 12, promises to be the best ever regatta and a fabulous fun filled family day out for young and old. From the piers, spectators can watch  boats leaving Dun Laoghaire Harbour mouth from 10.30 onwards  for racing starting at 11.30 until 3pm in Dublin Bay.  All types of boats can enter from wooden mermaids to squibs to dinghies to  racing SB3s and flying 15s to cruisers little and large.  To enter www.rsyc.ie/regatta . Ashore, at the Royal St George YC,  family fun begins at 12 midday on the quarterdeck with a bucking Rodeo Bull, Face-painting and bouncy castle? Summer Jazz  by Stedfast  marks the sailors return ashore and the start of the Pig on the spit BBQ. Prize Giving will be at 6pm by Frank Keane BMW.

This week in Galway, Damian Foxall honorary member of The Royal St George YC won Race Around the World. In a few weeks two young hopefuls Ger Owens, Scott Flanagan from Royal St George will be competing  in the Olympics having begun their training here in Dun Laoghaire. 

Frank Keane BMW recently opened in Blackrock, Co Dublin. Frank Keane  has been  synonymous with BMW since 1967, with a long standing presence on the Naas Road now  brings their wealth of experience and knowledge across BMW sales, service and finance to South County Dublin.
