After three coastal races and a total of 80 miles sailed in April, a 12-boat ISORA fleet embarks on its first offshore race of the season on the first weekend of May.

Included in the lineup is the Viking Marine April Coastal Series winner Paul O'Higgins in the JPK 10.80 Rockabill VI from the Royal Irish. Also coming to Dun Laoghaire is ISORA's 2022 overall champion, the Peter Cox and Vicky Dunlop J109 Mojito from north Wales.

The first cross-channel offshore race starts from Dun Laoghaire and goes approximately 90 miles to the Plas Heli line at Pwllheli Sailing Club in North Wales.

Southerly winds are expected at ten knots and probably significantly stronger.
