Round Ireland Race Start
This year, with the fresh sponsorship of SSE Renewables, the Round Ireland Race from Wicklow comes of age. The 21st staging of the biennial classic – now an international event, included in the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s programme and an integral part of its annual points championship – will mark four decades of exceptional enthusiasm and voluntary dedication by a relatively small sailing club in a little river mouth port, a harbour town which successfully asserts its special position and unique identity in an Irish sailing scene which otherwise tends to be dominated by four or five much larger sailing centres.
The race start will be off Wicklow Harbour on Saturday, June 20th 2020.
There is no surprise that the 704 nautical mile racecourse is as in previous editions: ‘leave Ireland and all its islands (excluding Rockall) to starboard’.
There will be separate starts for monohulls and multihulls. Starting times: Monohulls 1300 hrs and Multihulls 13.10 hrs.
