Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club (DMYC) has published details of the 2021 edition of its annual Kish Race on Dublin Bay next weekend.
The popular round Kish and back race will take place on Sunday, 19th September with the first gun at 10.55 a.m.
This year the Kish Race is part of the Cruiser 3 National Championships.
As regular Afloat readers will recall, last year the annual fixture had assembled a sizeable fleet including yachts from nearby Greystones Harbour in County Wicklow before having to cancel due to COVID.
Starting in the vicinity of Dun Laoghaire Harbour and racing to the Kish lighthouse and back, it is a distance of approximately 28 km.
Overall prizes will be awarded for the best performance (using an approximate TCF for Classic vessels and one-design boats).
Race organiser Ben Mulligan says that 'as this is the “last major” in the Dublin Bay summer season before the lift out or winter racing, the club is looking forward to an enthusiastic entry'.
Handicapping will be based on ECHO Standard, giving those with revised ECHOs a good chance at the prizes.
