Round Ireland Race 2010
The Round Ireland Race provides 700 miles of extremely competitive racing starting on Saturday 19th June in Wicklow. In 2010 we are entering our Reflex 38's in the Round Ireland race, which are very competitive offshore racing yachts. Over the past few years our Reflex 38's have enjoyed great success offshore, which includes Puma Logic finishing as runners up in the RORC offshore series overall.
Puma Logic has been named as the RORC 'Yacht of the Year' and has also won the 'RORC Schoolboat Trophy' for the 5th consecutive year. This is clear testimony of the quality of our yacht race training programme for offshore racing.
Venturing into the Atlantic Ocean, the Round Ireland Race is a great test of endurance and seamanship. There is normally a good variety of conditions which often includes a downwind sleigh ride along the West Coast of Ireland. You will experience a great sense of achievement after circumnavigating Ireland; it is one of the true offshore classics.
At Sailing Logic we have a passion for offshore racing and actively encourage new faces to the sport. Our Round Ireland campaign provides a great mix of training with some exciting offshore racing. The delivery to Ireland is an excellent opportunity for the teams to increase their time on the water gaining valuable experience to maximise the benefits of the campaign.
The Round Ireland Race is the ideal race to improve your offshore racing skills and will give you a great foundation if you are thinking of racing in the Rolex Fastnet Race 2011.
You will also gain over 1000 miles offshore experience, which will contribute greatly toward your RYA Coastal Skipper or RYA Yachtmaster qualifications.
