Safety is Important
Offshore is challenging so Safety is important.

ISORA provides owners and crew an opportunity to race offshore in a friendly, family atmosphere.

Racing is always competitive but there is always a great emphasis on safety which starts with an understanding of the risks involved in offshore racing and the constant need to be aware of changing conditions and a total respect for the elements is essential to enjoying our sport in safety.
