April may have ended with a strong foretaste of high summer, but for much of the month, the sense of winter barely past was definitely in evidence. Yet with the increasingly crowded calendar, the Irish Sea Offshore Racing Association gambled on being able to fit in three races before the month was out, and fortune favoured the brave.
That said, not all boats and crews were straight into top form with as much style as Paul O'Higgins and his veteran team on the well-proven JPK 10.80 Rockabill VI (RIYC). This distinctive and well-tuned boat was on top form to win all three ISORA races in April and provide her enthusiastic owner and crew with a solid points foundation on the leaderboard as they work their way through the 2025 season and more offshores of every type.
