The Cobh sailing club event was well represented by a cross section of RCYC boats and spectators, 2 trophies were on offer for the day with one trophy for overall winner and another trophy for the first National 18 home.

5 of the National 18 fleet  (Shuck’em, “The Honey Badger”, “Nacho Boat”, “The Right Job” & “No name”) competed in the event along with Sam Tanner in a Laser and a Peter O Leary & Steve O Sullivan in a Star,

First gun was scheduled for a foggy and misty start at 15:30 hrs from Mark No.13, the fleet beat up to No.16 before rounding the mark for the downwind leg of the race.

The National 18 “Shuck’em” took an early lead, with the remaining N18’s scrapping it out behind in what was a very tight race, the final leg to Ballinacurra continued in similar fashion with the shuck’em crew of Jamie Dwyer, Kieran Dwyer & Darragh O Riordan extending the lead to claim the “National 18 Master trophy”.
