A moderate northerly breeze and sunshine brought Cork Week to a close yesterday (Friday) with close results in virtually all classes.

In the showcase Class 0 fleet, Roy Disney’s Pyewacket had a close call when the breeze died close to the finish, allowing the smaller boats behind with wind to make substantial gains on sole MaxZ86 footer who was much further ahead on the Coastal course. In the end however, third place was enough to secure the overall win in the class.

The only firm victor going into the closing stages was Robin Aisher’s Yeomantix, his son-in-law Anthony O’Leary’s Antix that he was racing with his own crew from The Solent for the week. A 12-point advantage, counting four wins was enough to secure Class 1 with comfort

In the Sigma 33 European championship, defending title-holder Tim Goodbody on White Mischief was only able to manage third overall as the event was won by Scottish entry Squawk skippered by Colin Porteous from Largs Sailing Club with 470 sailor Mark Plummer on board as tactician.

Amongst the IRC Handicap classes, Colm Barrington’s new Jason Kerr 39-footer Flying Glove was able to oust DK46 footer Erivale in the final coastal race to take second overall to Pyewacket in Class Zero.

There were plenty of Irish celebrations in Crosshaven last night as homeside crews had victories in three classes including George Sisk’s Wow from the Royal Irish YC in Class 1, Anthony Gore-Grimes from Howth YC on Dux in Class 6 and Paralympian John Twomey’s Cool Runnings Too who reclaimed his overall lead on Class Seven in his Sonar keelboat.

In all, in excess of 500 boats took part in 18 classes.
