Howth’s Equinox on the crest of a wave

After a four-day series that delivered a full range of conditions, Howth Yacht Club’s Ross McDonald and the crew of Equinox won the Sovereigns Cup at Kinsale on Saturday.

The 32-footer took the overall trophy for its performance in Division 2 under IRC handicap that also secured the Irish Cruiser Racing Association class national championship title.

The Dublin club had sent a 15-strong contingent to Kinsale.
