After confirmation of her IRC overall win in the weekend's marathon ISORA cross-channel race, Peter Dunlop and Victoria Cox's J109 Mojito now lead the ISORA points table after eight races sailed.

Despite not competing in some of April's coastal races, Dunlop and Cox's performance in winning (the 1.2 weighted) May 6th Dun Laoghaire to Pwllheli race plus last weekend's return fixture on May 21 – and the IRC Welsh Championships in between – means they go top of the 28-boat Irish Sea offshore fleet.

The Pwllheli Sailing Club crew count 483.2 points to be 14.5 ahead of second overall Rockabill VI, the JPK 10.80 of Paul O'Higgins from Dun Laoghaire's Royal Irish Yacht Club on 468.7.

Mojito's club mate, the J125 Jackknife (Andrew Hall), which lost line honours by seconds in Sunday morning's finish of the 24-hour Pwllheli to Dun Laoghaire race, is lying third overall.

The top three are all entries in ISORA's next fixture, June's offshore season highlight, the 260-mile Volvo Dun Laoghaire to Dingle Race.
