Sovereigns Cup glory for O’Leary

THE Sovereigns Cup was lifted by Anthony O’Leary at Kinsale on Saturday after his Class Zero entry Antix was judged best of the 101-boat fleet for the series that featured a full range of conditions.

The Crosshaven owner-skipper delivered five race wins plus a second place to score one of the lowest points tallies across the five classes racing under IRC-handicap.

The Portcullis Trophy was awarded to the best performing boat under the ECHO handicap system and Kinsale’s own Dave Scott and the crew of Eos celebrated one of the most consistent series results with all race wins or second places scored despite the range of conditions.
