The last race in the ISORA Viking Marine Coastal Series for the Vincent Farrell trophy will be sailed on Friday, 22nd September.

As regular Afloat readers know, the Dun Laoghaire Harbour-based race was postponed due to gales on August 18th.

The race is the last of a six series off the Dublin coast.

A start time of 18.30 has been set by organisers with the aim of getting all boats back to the National Yacht Club by 10 pm.

While boats entered for the original race are entered for this rescheduled race, new entries are also being accepted.

In a busy end to September for coastal sailing fans, the rescheduling means the race now runs two days before the annual DMYC Dublin Bay Kish Race on September 24th.
