ICRA has reviewed the format for IRC and ECHO Boats of the Year and have made some changes.
The format is a bit different in that it encompasses more regional events from around Ireland and the number of races to count has reduced.
Commodore Denis Byrne commented “the revised format will hopefully incentivise more ECHO and IRC boats to participate in the larger neighbouring events but also will encourage greater numbers to participate in this year’s ICRA Nationals in conjunction with the Sovereigns Cup in June in Kinsale”.
