Topping this off is the biennial Volvo Dun Laoghaire race week which means a whole summer's racing without ever leaving Dun Laoghaire.
National Yacht Club sailor James Gorman is the new Dun Laoghaire class captain who has overseen the new programme.
Howth YC is hosting the popular Spring Warmer sails and class president Justin Burke says this season starter 'dovetails nicely into the SB20 Easterns the following week'.
Royal Cork YC will host the SB20 Southerns and this will be the final warm up before the SB20 Worlds in Lake Garda where a large fleet is expected.
A new venue for the SB20 class will be in Northern Ireland at Whiterock on Strangford Lough Yacht Club in September.
The final event of 2015 will again be on the midland lakes in October.
