Lough Derg YC hosts its first ever 24-hour pursuit race starting tomorrow evening at 5pm, with dinghies and cruisers racing around a loop on the lake for a full 24 hours, stopping only to rotate crew members. The event is timed to coincide with the summer solstice, so sailors will only have to contend with around four hours of full darkness. Nav lights are included for dinghies as part of the entry fee, as is free camping, music and food on both Friday and Saturday nights.
Briefing takes place on Friday at 4pm and the race gets underway an hour later.
All the details are on www.dromineer24.com
We look forward to seeing how this race pans out, a great initiative from a great club.
