The Notice of Race and Entry Form for June's West Coast of Ireland (WIORA) Championship being hosted by the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ireland has been published.

This year will see a change to the usual format as the event will run over three days, from Friday 24th to Sunday 26th June inclusive, rather than the traditional four-day event which ran from Wednesday to Saturday.

The rationale for the change comes from feedback from sailors participating in the West Championships over the years, who feel that a three-day event may make it easier for crews to get time away from families and time off work.

It is scheduled to run eight races for Spinnaker Class and six races for White Sails Class.

Race Officer, John Leech, will be the principal race officer for the Spinnaker Class and a Regional Race Officer will be appointed for the White Sails Class.

The event will be located at Kilrush Marina with live music and entertainment.
