After a hiatus of two years the Bosun Bob's RS400 Winter series is back! The much-loved Belfast Lough sailing event will kick off on Sunday the 31st October for eight consecutive weeks up to 19th December.
This event was last run in 2019 before the pandemic paused things, at that point this was one of the best supported winter events in Ireland, with a regular 18 boats on the start line and a bonanza of boats turning up for the last day, known as the Christmas race.
The web page with entry details went live on Friday, and as of Monday there were 11 entries already! Which is quite the response. This series draws boats and very talented sailors from all over the country with some boats travelling all the way from Dublin.
The PRO Gerry Reid said, "A typical Sunday race will consist of three quick fire races of about 20 minutes each. We bear in mind that it gets cold for the competitors and the event team, so we don't hang about.
Racing can be watched from the shore at Cultra, starting at 1.30pm Sunday 31st October.
