Jury Gives Roxy Race Win

Last night, Ireland was among several teams that presented appeals to the International Jury that awarded full redress to Rockall III of the Hong Kong team for missing a course change in Thursday race. Initially, Ireland's lead increased to 40.5 points but after redress was awarded, Hong Kong were 31.5 points behind going into today's penultimate race.

After three hours of deliberations, the outcome was that Ireland's Roxy replaced as the  race winner. Rockall was joint second, resulting in a two point gain to Ireland.
