Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club (DMYC) has published the Notice of Race for its annual Kish Race on Dublin Bay, with support from Leinster Boats yacht brokers.

The race will start from the West Pier at 11.00 am on Sunday, 24th September.

The race is sponsored by Dun Laoghaire yacht brokers, Leinster Boats.

In a change from the usual format, as agreed with Dublin Port, the fleet will pass south of the South Burford on both the outbound and inbound legs of the race.

The race is run on “Standard Echo.” We welcome the competitive racers, weekend recreation, and cruiser sailors to participate in the last major race on the Dublin Bay summer racing calendar.

Race organiser, Neil Colin noted, "Have no fear of a crowded start line as it will be approximately 500m long!"

As regular Afloat readers will recall, Chris Power Smith's well-proven J122, Aurelia, won the 2022 race in a fine turnout of 56 boats.
