- The Methuselah Trophy awarded for the first Overall IRC Team
- The Jeroboam Trophy awarded for the 2nd Overall IRC Team
- The Arun Yacht Club Team Challenge Trophy awarded for the Overall ISCRS Team
- The Jeroboam Trophy awarded for the 2nd Overall ISCRS Team

Official charity to receive extra #raceforall funding from J.P. Morgan Asset Management
Thanks to the enthusiasm of the Race competitors and followers who have tweeted their support for the Official Race Charity, The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust (EMCT), J.P. Morgan Asset Management is delighted to announce a further £1,000 donation towards the #raceforall campaign, increasing the fundraising total to £4,000.
For every #raceforall tweet, £1 will be donated to the National Charity, whose aim is to rebuild confidence in young people who have suffered from cancer and leukaemia through sailing.
Frank Fletcher, CEO, The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, commented, "This £1000 will enable a further two young people the opportunity to take part in a life changing trip. We are extremely grateful to J.P. Morgan for their kind generosity."
