This keelboat series was run over three weekends in September and October with a mixed fleet of 20 boats taking part with 9 races in the series and three discards enabling a team to miss a whole weekend and still be able to win the event.
It was decided to have one start and then split the results to three fleets IRC, PYS and SBR.
In very competitive racing in the delightful water of Cardigan Bay the Corby 25 of the two Wil’s came out on top winning 6 races in the mixed fleet and winning the IRC when the results were split from the X332 of Mike Crompton Xpletive in second place.
