ISORA's coastal course five will be a 19-miler for what looks like another light air fixture for the third and final race of the Viking Marine April Mini-Series.
With the European Cup rugby semi-final being shown live at the National Yacht Club at 3 pm, the crews have opted for an early start, and there will be a first gun at 0755hrs for Class 2 and at 0825 hrs for Class 0 & 1.
The wind is forecast to be 3-5 knots from N/NE, freshening up slightly during the day. The tide will be ebbing for most of the race.
With two wins from two starts, Rockabill VI is the on-form boat and will be joined in Class Zero for the first time in 2023 by Robert Rendell's Grand Soleil 44, Samatom, for the race as far south as the Shanganagh (Killiney) Outfall buoy. See the full entry list of 12 boats below.
