The second ISORA Night Race on Friday 8th August in Pwllheli started, later than the Irish counterparts, at 2050 hrs. The Race committee had set a 38.5 mile course which would take the fleet to all corners of Tremadog bay.
The Welsh ISORA fleet were set off from the Pwllheli Sailing Club start line using the unmanned, automated start system with a beat to the first mark in a gentle 8 knots of wind and then onwards to St Tudwal's Islands. Jackknike J125 was first through the sound just as the wind built to 10 knots and a close fetch to Causeway Buoy.
The 14 mile spinnaker run from Causeway turned into a tight reach as the competitors reached Madog Fairway. Jackknife held her lead with Sgrech and Mojito closing in on the dying wind around Madog Fairway.
The beat back to Tom Buoy was fast with winds increasing to 18 knots and held for the boats to finish around 0400 hrs.
Jackknife took line honours but Sgrech was first overall and Mojito second - Mojito went on to compete in Abersoch Regatta and acheived 2nd overall.
