Saturday - Howth Start
A contender for tomorrow's (Sunday) top prize of the Volvo boat of the regatta trophy is Checkmate XV, the Nigel Biggs skippered vintage halftonner that has a perfect score line of five wins from five races in IRC class two. A promising 6 to 8 knots of winds got racing for all 393 boats in 25 classes off to a solid start this morning and the hope was that the breeze like the sunshine would build during the day but instead the wind had died across most of the eight courses by lunchtime.
