Attention Optimist Sailors: Competing for the Europeans? You Can Still Enter DYR!

Are you an Optimist sailor hoping to qualify for the IODA European Championship – but also dreaming of racing at the Dutch Youth Regatta 2025? Good news: you don’t have to choose just yet!

We understand this year’s scheduling conflict has made things tricky. IODA has moved the Optimist Europeans forward by a few weeks, and it now overlaps with our event (May 28 – June 1). This unexpected change has caused concern among sailors who are still in the selection process and unsure if they’ll be going to the Europeans or not.

🌍 At DYR, we don’t want you to miss out.
So here’s our promise:

👉 Register now for the Dutch Youth Regatta Optimist fleet.
👉 If you qualify for the European Championship, we’ll refund your entry fee in full – no hassle, no risk.

This way, you can secure your spot at DYR without missing out on a chance to represent your country. 🏁

🇳🇱 For Dutch sailors: The final selection weekend for Team NL takes place on May 17 & 18. After that, you’ll know if you’ve made the team – and if you have, just let us know and we’ll handle the refund.

Registration ensures you’re not left out if the fleet fills up.

Sure, the early bird has flown… but entry is still open and that start line is calling your name.
You keep all your options open, no stress!

📅 So don’t wait – enter now and sail with peace of mind:

Let’s make DYR 2025 unforgettable – on the beautiful waters of Zeeland!
