The format will be super Saturday style with the plan of running 2 races for both irc and club fleets. More info to follow on the day from the od. Following racing a prizegiving will take place ashore.
Hope to see as many boats out as possible as the season draws to a close ⛵️

There will be a rescheduled race on Sunday 17th Sept at 6.30pm. This race will be the missed Fairley 2 race. Hope to see you there.

This Sunday sees our final long distance race of the year. This race will a pursuit style race with the first boat planned to start at 9.30am from the start line in Fahan.
Course will be confirmed on the day depending on wind conditions, but will more than likely follow the normal format of swillymore to port and finish at portsalon pier no more than 100 metres.
As the pier in portsalon is closed for works we plan to continue to Rathmullan for a prizegiving in the white heart. Hope to see as many boats out as possible.
