A new international Junior Regatta
The Dutch International Youth Regatta (DIYR) is providing a competitive event for every junior rower. There are two different distances, 500m for junior 12 and junior 14 competitors and 2000m for Junior 16 and junior 18 competitors.
During the DIYR the Dutch rowers can qualify for the Dutch national equipe, the Coupe de la Jeunesse, and the World Rowing Junior Championships, so stiff competition is guaranteed!
