The IWEA Annual Conference saw the official launch of the ISORA KONA Dun Laoghaire to Pwllheli Yacht Race which will take place on 26th July 2014. KONA are delighted to maintain our association with the Irish Sea Offshore Racing Association as this series being wind powered and challenging, perfectly compliments KONA's principles and ethics.

Dun Laoghaire to Pwllheli Yacht Race will be the 7th race of the series. This is the feeder race for the IRC Welsh Championships.

ISORA will run ten races as part of their "ISORA Offshore Racing Series 2014. They will consist of traditional offshore races of distances from 50 to 100 miles and long day and night inshore races of under 50 miles.

We would like to wish good luck to all the competitors.

The ISORA series will start shortly (26th April) with a day race in Dun Laoghaire and Pwllheli.
