Pack closing in on Cotter

CORK WEEK 2010 passed its halfway mark with sunshine and light winds mixed with rain and a slow, rolling seaway off Roche’s Point as the results closed up in most of the 13 classes.

Richard Cotter’s Swan 45 Nemo of Cowes commands Class Zero but the chasing pack is gaining ground. A third place and a win for marinerscove.ie closed the gap slightly from second to first by a single point.

“We had a tough start to the regatta, we didn’t really get the results we were looking for — a bit unlucky and some mistakes,” said Andy Beadsworth, tactician on Dave Dwyer’s marinerscove.ie. “But we’re getting it together now towards the end of the week.”
