Six wins was more than enough for locals Neil Kennefick and Joxer O'Briens' Tiger to win Class three of the Irish Cruiser Racing Association national championships that ended in Crosshaven this evening.

The quarter-tonner from the host club was the favourite in Class Three since Friday when the immaculate black hulled yacht opened her national championship account with three firsts.

Following the thrills of heavy air sailing on Saturday the final day of racing turned out to be a beautiful sun filled one with a breeze of 7/8 knots.

Classes Zero, One and Two with Race Officer Peter Crowley were sailing windward/leeward courses almost out to the Daunt while Classes Three, Four and Whitesail sailed off Trabolgan with Race Officer Richard Leonard. 

All fleets with the exception of Whitesail sailed two races today.

Anthony O'Leary successfully defended his IRC zero title in his Ker 39 from a reduced fleet of five entries.

Counting five firsts Howth's  J109 Storm (Pat Kelly) took an impressive vistory in class one IRC beating the modified 1720 Antix beag by 11 points.

Early leader in class two Allure from Kinsale Yacht Club maintined form to win from  the Dehler 34 Disaray.
