After one of the nicer races of the season, especially after the incredibly tough “no wind” Fastnet Race; Alex Adams’ J/105 VOADOR took second in IRC 3 Class (and 7th overall), followed by three more J teams in the top seven; Torl McLaren’s J/109 INSPARA in 5th (and 12th overall), Kevin Armstrong’s J/109 JAZZY JELLFISH in 6th and Nick Martin’s J/105 DIABLO-J in 7th.
As a result, it looks like the RORC Series IRC Overall sees Martin’s J/105 DIABLO-J lying in 4th place, Chris Palmer’s J/109 J-T’AIME 8th, Trevor Sainty’s J/109 JELENKO in 14th and David Ballantyne’s J/133 JINGS in 18th.
Within the individual classes for the season long points series, in IRC One overall with 83 entries, Ballantyne’s J/133 JINGS appears to have secured 4th in class. In IRC Two with 103 entries, Elin Haf Davies’ J/120 NUNATAK took 7th in class, followed by Chris Schram’s J/120 MAVERICK in 9th, Andy Theobald’s J/122 R&W in 10th, the Army Sailing Association’s J/111 BRITISH SOLDIER in 11th and Gilles Fournier’s J/133 PINTIA in 20th. Finally, in IRC Three with 124 entries, perversely its the J/105 DIABLO-J that drops in the standings (relative to overall) to 7th with Palmer’s J/109 J’T’AIME in 8th, and Sainty’s J/109 JELENKO in 10th.
