Laser sailors Steve Cockerill and David Summerville are embarking on the challenge of a lifetime as they prepare to sail Laser dinghies across the Irish Sea from Dublin, Ireland to Southport, England, a distance of 115 nautical miles, in order to raise vital funds for leading mental health charity Mind and the John Merricks Sailing Trust.

Thank you for your support of the Irish Sea Challenge.
This week-end we had a tidal window extending from Saturday 3rd to Tuesday 6th September, meaning that the confluence of Irish Sea tides and daylight hours made crossing the Irish Sea in single handed Laser class dinghies a possibility. In particular Tuesday looked promising, according to weather data available Friday, and we proceeded to book a ferry crossing from Liverpool to Dublin for early Monday morning, in order to locate the boats and the sailors to the departure point in Howth.
