What a day 25-30 Kts of wind with a big sea.  The racing was moved into the harbour, a very sensible move from the race committee.

 

Even if we do say so, the start was amazing, on the pin, 3 seconds to go and powering out under a Swan 45 -  does it get any better for a little J133.

 

Some very exciting down wind sailing with only one small spin out, although it did leave the bow man swimming for a few seconds on the foredeck.

 

The results were very close and after 3 hours of racing only a few seconds separated 4-6 ! 

 

The highlight of the day was crossing tacks with an Irish Naval Ship, it could only happen in Cork
