The Royal Ocean Racing Club’s Solent racing season came to a conclusion with the Vice Admiral’s Cup with two days (14-15 September) of windward leeward and tight round the cans races. High pressure dominated the weather conditions, with early autumn sunshine providing brilliant sunshine. On both days, the racing schedule was delayed allowing a seabreeze to fill, and it was worth the wait. Five superb races were run for all classes in up to 15 knots of wind. The J/111 one-design fleet went right to the wire. Cornel Riklin’s Jitterbug was the winner by a single point from Tony & Sally Mack’s McFly. Louise Makin and Chris Jones’ JourneyMaker II was third. Thank you to all the Race Team for organizing a great regatta,” commented Jitterbug’s Riklin. “We had some incredibly close racing with a couple of races decided by one or two seconds and the whole class finishing within a minute or two.” For more information about the Royal Ocean Racing Club: www.rorc.org.
