Yesterday’s race took the fleet out towards the famous Fastnet Rock lighthouse and back between the event’s namesake islands before several laps past Long Island to the finish off Schull.

A fresh breeze at the start of racing eased off to around eight knots leaving several boats at sea for up to four hours.
