Seven boats will contest this Saturday's (July 22) ISORA Coastal Race 13 from Dun Laoghaire Harbour, part of the association's 2023 Musto Offshore Series.

The fleet's smaller size this weekend is likely a result of the clash with Saturday's record-breaking Rolex Fastnet Race start that has already led to the cancellation of July 28th's SCORA Fastnet fixture from Kinsale on the south coast.

The UK-based Farr 30 Wild Haggis joins the fleet that includes Howth regular Simon Knowles in the J109 Indian and the National Yacht Club's John O'Gorman in the Sunfast 3600 Hot Cookie.

Two Beneteau First 34.7s are also entered with Magic Touch from Greystones Harbour and Leslie Parnell's Black Velvet from the Royal Irish Yacht Club, both coming to the West Pier line.

There will be one all-in start at 10 am. The aim is to have all boats finished by approximately 4 pm.

The course will be published on Friday. All boats sail with YB trackers.
