Fourteen boats have now declared for Saturday’s concluding race of the 2026 MUSTO ISORA Series from Pwllheli to Dún Laoghaire, including already-crowned Wolf’s Head Trophy winner Pata Negra, with several of the remaining overall and class positions still to be decided.

The James Eadie Trophy race on September 12 is the higher-scoring finale to the offshore series and follows the Dún Laoghaire–Pwllheli race won by the two-handed JPK 10.30 Loinnir last month.

As Afloat reported after that race, Andrew and Sam Hall’s Pata Negra has already secured the Wolf’s Head Trophy for the second successive year as well as Class 0, leaving the principal interest on Saturday focused on the remaining overall places and class titles.

ReQuest And Loinnir In The Mix

Among the boats declared are the Burke family’s JPK 10.30 ReQuest and John Malone and Emmet Sheridan’s sistership Loinnir.

ReQuest currently holds second overall, with Loinnir just 5.2 points behind following its victory in the previous offshore. That result brought the two boats significantly closer going into the final race.

Also declared are Cristina, El Syd, Finally, Hijacker, Ktanca and No Xcuse, while Prime Suspect, Paradox, Razorbill, Crackajack and Jezebel and Pata Negra complete the 14 declarations received so far.

Pata Negra Joins Finale Fleet

Series winner Pata Negra has now declared for Saturday’s race, with Andrew and Sam Hall returning to the course having already secured both the Wolf’s Head Trophy and Class 0 ahead of the finale.

Indian and Mojito remain shown without declarations at present, while Aurelia, Darling xx, Lightning, Tsunami and White Lotus are listed as not racing.

Higher-Scoring Finish

The unusual scoring picture means Saturday can still produce movement elsewhere in the standings. After 18 races, only five results count under ISORA’s CHIPS 3 weighted scoring system, with 13 discards currently shown.

That puts added emphasis on the higher-scoring James Eadie Trophy race as the fleet makes the final cross-channel passage of the 2026 series to Dún Laoghaire.
