Six months to the start and Wicklow Sailing Club has sounded the first gun for its SSE Renewables Round Ireland Yacht Race 2024.
The East Coast club has set a high target for entries, but as Afloat reported previously, they have also been quick off the mark to attract some early international entries.
The 2024 edition of the race marks the 22nd running of Ireland’s premier offshore sailing event and will start on Saturday, 22nd June 2024, with a hoped-for fleet of some 70 boats.
The race will leave Ireland and its islands to starboard while starting and finishing at the east coast port of Wicklow after racing for at least 700 nautical miles.
The Round Ireland Race is a high point of the ISORA (Irish Sea Offshore Racing Association) calendar and is the second-longest race in the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) calendar while alternating with the Rolex Fastnet Race.
