When the fleet came together on Friday 2nd July at the start line just east of the iconic Lyver building they found a pleasant 8-12kts from the northwest.
After an AP till 1830 to allow a cruise ship to leave, the race officer, Chris Riley, let the fleet go. All clear apart from Paul Hampson s J105 Mojo. Peter Dunlop and Victoria Cox s J109, unsure of the recall, also ducked back briefly.
Tacking up the Mersey and making use of the tide out, the fleet started to stretch out with Jackknife and Mojito at the front, both gradually pulling away from Paul Kitteringham s Elan 350 Finally and Mojo.
An Appreciation of Clare Hogan

Clare Hogan, who sadly died on 10th April 2021, taken from us so prematurely, will be sorely missed by her sailing friends, particularly those of us in the Irish Dragon Class. She sailed from the Royal St George Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire in her Dragons Aphrodite and Cloud .
Clare came from a sailing family where her brothers Peter, Neil and Tom are well-known sailors. Clare enjoyed success in her Cadet as a young teenager.
In College, she joined the UCD Sailing Club becoming a Committee member, where her efforts played no small part in reviving the Club and putting it back on a sound financial footing.
