ISORA Updates Race Schedule for 2024 To Avoid 'As Many Clashes As Possible'

2nd February 2024

The final 2024 ISORA calendar (v 9 above) is structured to avoid as many clashes as possible while facilitating boats doing other events

Irish Sea Offshore Racing Association (ISORA) has signed off on a 'final' race schedule for 2024

As regular Afloat readers know, the association was quick off the blocks at its agm when it published a draft schedule for its 2024 fixtures last November but has since issued several amendments.

The version nine calendar released in February is "structured to avoid as many clashes as possible while facilitating boats doing the other events", according to ISORA's chair, Peter Ryan.

An early season coastal series will see the Irish fleet's first race on April 6th, a month earlier than previously advertised. The race is part of a five-race 'Irish Early Coastal Series', featuring races of three to five-hour duration.

The first cross-channel race date remains the same on May 11th with a 75-mile Dun Laoghaire - Pwllheli fixture.

A highlight of the seven-race offshore season will be the 12th July Kingstown – Queenstown (Dun Laoghaire to Cork) race that carries a weighting of 1.3

Online entry will open shortly, Ryan told Afloat.
