(Cherbourg, France)- The end of season finale for the RORC offshore championship is the Cherbourg Race. The race was as quick as anticipated with almost the whole fleet in Cherbourg for breakfast. The wind angle was too tight for spinnakers, it was very gusty and there were big waves. Most boats had at least one reef in the main and a No. 3 or No 4 headsail.
Third in IRC Class Super Zero was Bill Blain's J/133, BATFISH III who celebrated winning the RORC Season's Points Championship overall in Cherbourg. In the RORC Double-handed divsion, second place in the Cherbourg Race went to James Heald's J /105, FLAWLESS-J. In IRC Two, Luca Rubinelli's J/109, ARIA, was second and Robin Taunt's J/109, JIBE, was third.
