Overall winner - Glen Bourke - Yachts and Yachting
Royal Southern Yacht Club (GBR)

Day 4 - Final Day - 6th September
Triple Laser class world champion Glenn Bourke (Yachts and Yachting) emerged the overall winner in a dramatic three-race finale to the series.

The Australian won, thanks to a seventh place and a disastrous 28th place for Tim Powell helming local entry Hibernian in the last race of the day. Brian Lennon and Roger Cagney's Hibernian team had led the event from the outset though pressure mounted on their overall lead from the halfway stage on.

Defending champion Des Faherty (Aquatack), also from Howth managed to pull into the top three overall. Skiff sailor Mel Collins from Cork was at the helm in an all-amateur crew.

World Match Racing champion Chris Law (Peugeot Motocycles) was a disappointing fifth overall having held second overall at the outset of the series.

The four-day event was sailed in a mix of weather from light to fresh winds and Howth YC received widespread acclaim from crews for the high standard of event management afloat and ashore.
