(Cowes, IOW, England)- The fastest boats covered the 145nm RORC Channel
Race in just over 26 hours. In IRC Three and the IRC Two-Handed class,
it was Nick Martin's DIABLO-J (sistership seen here) came out on top but
it was far from easy. Nick Martin's win secured the Two-Handed Class
for the season and also puts DIABLO-J up to second place overall in the
RORC Season's Points Championship against some of the "hottest" IRC
designs in Europe.
The last race of the RORC Season's Points Championship will take place
on Friday the 31st August with a sprint across The English Channel for
the Cherbourg Race. For more RORC Channel Race sailing information
