Following an intense weekend of ISORA racing at Strangford Lough, the stage is set for an exciting end-of-season offshore climax to decide the Wolf's Head Trophy.

Clear overall winners are emerging for Class 1 and 2, but there will be a fight in Class Zero in ISORA's last fixture, the John Eadie Race from Pwllheli to Dun Laoghaire on September 2nd.

Overall leader Rockabill VI's absence at the weekend (Paul O'Higgins of the Royal Irish) means her overall lead has been eroded. Race winners Mojito (Vicky Cox and Peter Dunlop, Pwllheli SC) and Jackknife Andrew Hall, Pwllheli SC) at Strangford are now snapping at Rockabill VI's heels.

"Quoile Yacht Club provided an excellent host port"

The JPK 10.80 Rockabill VI is on 526.1 points and has an eight-point advantage over the J109 Mojito on 518.0, with the J125 Jackknife on 488.4.

Quoile Yacht Club provided an excellent host port for Strangford's two races. "It was a great opportunity for the ISORA fleet to experience a new and enthusiastic experience in Strangford Lough", ISORA's Peter Ryan told Afloat. "ISORA will be regularly visiting Quoile YC in the future, " he added.

Race 15 on Sunday started at 06.30 under the YB tracker and finished in the mid-Irish Sea close to the M2 buoy. YB tracker monitored the start to ensure no boat crossed the start line until the start time of 06.30.
