Jay Colville’s Forty Licks shines at Cork Week

Light winds and thundery downpours failed to dampen performances on the second day of racing at Volvo Cork Week where the bulk of the action took place offshore along the Coastal Race course.

While the opening day’s Beaufort Cup race was decided over 24 hours in the Fastnet and back race, won in convincing fashion by the Irish Defence Forces on Joker 2, most of the cruiser-racing divisions were competing between Roche’s Point and the Sovereigns off Kinsale in a single race day.

Despite the change of racing style from short to long races, there was little significant change to the overall standings in most classes.
