Under the stewardship of PRO Neil Murphy the 6 race schedule was completed. The racing was excellent and particularly close between the top 3 crews. Indeed, the event came right down to the last race to decide the winner. 3 boats were in contention; however, the HYC crew secured a second place to take the overall prize.

| 2nd | Patrick Crosbie & Grattan d'Esterre Roberts | RCYC | 9pts |
