The biggest classes in this weekend's Lambay race is Class 3 (24) and Puppeteers (20) and there are 130 entries to date. Among the favourites will be 'Kinetic' (Colwell/Murphy) in Class 2, having just retained their ICRA National title and 'Alliance' (Vincent Gaffney) in Class 3 (second on IRC & first on ECHO at ICRAs) White Sail class reduced as many are cruising at this time of the year (this is a result of the event being put back two weeks to accommodate those wanting to see VOR in Galway). The forecast is for medium to strong breezes for what is typically a 4-5 hour race around Lambay and back to Howth.
