The weather gods were partially kind to Schull on Friday with a fickle north westerly wind of 4 to 15 knots and intermittent sunshine on the final day of Calves Week 2022.
Once again, all seven fleets had an in-harbour start with a short windward cross harbour leg before rounding the mark on the western shore, much to the delight of the crowds of spectators who had a spectacular close-up view of the activities on the water.
Class 0 was a day for the Cape 31 to shine, with Anthony O'Leary's Antix and Dan O'Grady's Aja taking first and second respectfully in both divisions. At the same time, third place for Paul O'Higgins was good enough for Rockabill VI to secure the overall trophy. In Echo, a third spot today for the Jones family in Jelly Baby saw them win the overall.
In Class 1 IRC, it was a victory for Ritchie and Mike Evans from Howth sailing Snapshot to secure them the overall from Leslie Parnell's Black Velvet, while a popular win in Echo went to Gabby Hogan's local-based Growler.
Class 2 continued to be dominated by the Royal Cork's Bad Company, who continued to hold off the challenge of Norbert Reilly's Ghost Raider by winning both divisions, while in class 3, Patrick Collins Ealu from Baltimore had a clear victory in both divisions.
In Class 4, IRC Rob O'Reilly's Bon Journo eclipsed the fleet in his Dynamo 25 B to win IRC overall and the best IRC helm of the event, while in Echo, the prize went to Des Corbertt's Netta J Sadler 25 from Cove sailing club.
In White Sail 1, Kieran O'Brien's Magnet finished a great week by winning overall in both divisions. At the same time, the veteran Lady Min in White Sail 2 continued a fantastic outing by winning the Echo trophy and best local Schull boat.
