Dark Angel takes honours at Cork Week

In the end, as with so many sailing regattas it was the weather that proved the final arbiter for Volvo Cork Week 2016. Thick mist outside Cork Harbour denied most of the racing classes their final day yesterday.

Not everyone was affected and the smaller boats and white sails entries racing inside Roche’s Point enjoyed perfect conditions.

So the results for most classes stand unchanged after Thursday’s Harbour Course and last night at the Royal Cork Yacht Club, Tony Ackland’s Dark Angel from Swansea was announced as the overall winner of the regatta.
