ISORA has finalised its 2023 racing schedule reducing the number of fixtures to avoid clashes with other events.
The programme released in draft form in Afloat here in November is built around a busy racing calendar and is aimed to provide a full series of coastal races in Ireland and Wales.
'We can’t fit any more ISORA races in without clashes', ISORA boss Peter Ryan told Afloat.
The 'Offshore Series has been designed to provide a challenging series with a variety of ports and a complexity of courses.
Ryan says the main influencing events which helped ISORA shape the final programme are:
- IRC Welsh Nationals Championships –12th to 14th May
- D2D Race – 7th June
- RDYC Offshore Championship / Lyver Race – 1st July
- VDLR – 6th to 9th July
- Greystones Regatta – 26th to 27th August
- ICRA Nationals – Howth – 1st to 3rd September
The 2023 calendar still strongly emphasises its coastal series with six races on the Irish side of the Cross Channel.
Ryan says that sailors can expect coastal races as part of July's VDLR, August's Greystones Regatta and the ICRA nationals in September too.
