Three Jeanneau Sunfast 3600s are among the nine-boat fleet that will contest Saturday's 24-mile ISORA coastal race along the Dublin and Wicklow coastline.
With an eye on current light wind forecasts, race organisers have stated the course may be shortened off Bray in County Wicklow.
This race is the 11th Race in the Musto ISORA 2022 series and also the third race of the Viking Marine Coastal Series.
John O'Gorman's 3600 Hot Cookie and Pete Smyth's Searcher, both from the National Yacht Club, will be joined by Royal St. George Yacht Club's Yoyo (Brendan Coghlan).
Also racing is Howth Yacht Club ICRA coastal champion 2022, Robert Rendell's Grand Soleil 44, Samatom.
The forecast is for northerly winds of six knots at 0955 start time with the hope of a sea breeze later
