A seven-boat ISORA fleet is considering a course proposal from Race Officers for this weekend's coastal race from Dun Laoghaire Harbour.

Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Race competitors are back on the water for ISORA's Race 10. Saturday's proposed 23-mile course to Wicklow is very similar to the opening stage of the 270-mile race a fortnight ago.

2023 D2D veterans Paul O'Higgins's JPK 10.80 Rockabill VI and Tom Shanahan's J109 Ruth are racing.

Leslie Parnell's Royal Irish 34.7 Black Velvet will be racing double-handed.

ISORA numbers for race ten are reduced due to the weekend clash with the conclusion of the Sovereign's Cup at Kinsale.

Starting on flood tide at 10 am, with a 15-18 knot southerly breeze, the proposed course from the Dun Laoghaire start is Muglins S - Moulditch S - Muglins P - Dun Laoghaire Finish.
23 miles. Breeches buoy instead of Moulditch would extend the course to 28 miles.

The course will be confirmed on Friday.
