JELLY BABY Wins Irish Championship(Cork, Ireland)- Like a fine seafood platter, Cork Week dished up a huge variety of courses and Friday's Harbour Race was the centerpiece of a phenomenal week of racing. The entire international fleet racing at Cork Week enjoyed a scenic race in Cork's historic harbour. The weather may have closed in once again but the myriad of racing boats parading passed Cobh provided a spectacular finale to what has been a very special regatta.
It was all to play for in IRC 2 with two yachts vying for the class win and the title of 2012 Irish J/109 National Champion. After two legs of the Harbour Race, Hall & McDonell's Dublin based SOMETHING ELSE led the charge but Ian Nagle's JELLY BABY made a decisive move on the beat past Roches Point to gain the upper hand. Royal Cork's JELLY BABY never looked back and won the last race of the regatta to win both the IRC 2 Class and the J/109 Irish Championship. Second in both IRC 2 and the J/109s was SOMETHING ELSE. Third in the J/109 Irish Championship was Baker's JALAPENO. For more CORK Week and J/109 Irish Championship sailing information
