ISORA has finalised its 2025 racing schedule, reducing fixtures to avoid clashes with other events.
The programme is built around a busy racing calendar and is aimed to provide a full series of Coastal Races in Ireland and Wales.
Publication of the programme follows a bid to address declining participation in coastal and offshore races and a comprehensive review of ISORA's race schedule and management practices.
The 'Offshore Series has been designed to provide a challenging series with a variety of ports and a complexity of courses.
As regular Afloat readers know, the agam also heard calls for clear safety protocols amid liability concerns.
Ryan says the main influencing events which helped ISORA shape the final programme are:
- IRC Welsh Nationals Championship 2nd to 4th May 2025
- Howth Regatta - 31st May 2025 •
- D2D: 11th June 2025
- Sovereign’s Cup - ICRA Nationals 25th – 28th June
- VDLR Regatta – 10th – 13th July 2025
The 2025 calendar still strongly emphasises its coastal series but with four instead of a traditional six races on the Irish side of the Cross Channel.
