ISORA will applaud its 2023 overall champion Paul O'Higgins and his Royal Irish Rockabill VI crew at the association's annual black-tie dinner at the National Yacht Club on November 11th. 

The winning JPK 10.80 crew and many other prizewinners will be saluted at the traditional Dun Laoghaire Harbour venue, typically one of the biggest prizegiving nights of the waterfront year.

O'Higgins will lift the overall Wolf's Head Trophy again on the evening, an award which he last held in 2020 (not awarded in 2021 due to COVID) after losing out to the North Wales J109 Mojito last season.

ISORA Chairman Peter Ryan says he has given good notice that space is limited for the usual sell-out event that starts with a reception before dinner and finishes with a Jack Ryan whiskey toast and a live band to round out the Irish Sea's offshore sailing year. 

A full list of ISORA 2023 prizewinners will appear on Afloat shortly.
