Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club (DMYC) has published details of the 2020 edition of its annual Kish Race on Dublin Bay later this month.
The round Kish and back race will take place on Sunday 20th with the first gun at 10.25 a.m.
Starting in the vicinity of Dun Laoghaire Harbour and racing to the Kish lighthouse and back, it is a distance of approximately 28 km.
There will be three starts separated by five-minute Intervals.
- 1st Start Cruiser 0 and 1
- 2nd Start Cruiser 2
- 3rd Start Cruiser 3, 4,5. Shipman and Ruffians
Race organiser Ben Mulligan says that 'as this is the “last major” in the Dublin Bay summer season before the lift out or winter racing, the club is looking forward to an enthusiastic entry'.
Handicapping will be based on ECHO Standard, giving those with revised ECHOs a good chance at the prizes.
Results for the race will be calculated using ECHO standard TCF handicaps, or equivalent. Overall prizes will be awarded for the best performance. (The Kish Race Trophy)
In addition, there will be a Prize awarded for the first Shipman and the first Ruffian and the first in each cruiser class.
Unfortunately, this year organisers cannot offer the hospitality of the DMYC for the prizegiving but prizes will be sent to the winners.
The entry fee is €25
