The event attracted the highest entry for over 10 years with competitors from Scotland, Belfast Lough, Strangford Lough, Liverpool, Abersoch, Plymouth, Kinsale as well as a strong local contingent. This strong entry underlines the popularity of this rugged seaworthy Offshore Racing Yacht which enjoys strong one design racing in so many centres as well as being very competitive under IRC. The defending Class and Irish Champion is White Mischief and were met with strong competition from previous Champions such as Sigmatic from the Clyde as well as from many other visiting and local yachts.

After gusts of up to 40knts caused racing to be abandoned on Friday, conditions for Saturday improved considerably with a strong shifting breeze making for challenging racing over the windward-leeward course.
