The battle of the Half-Tonners continues as expected after Wednesday's Harbour Race in IRC Two of Volvo Cork Week Regatta, with 2 Farr taking the honours to lead near sistership of James Dwyer's Swuzzlebubble by just a single point overall.

The Boardman, Kelly and O’Leary fleet leader counts (3), 2, 1, 1, 1 to Swuzzlebubble's 1, 1, 2, 2 and (3.0) in an extremely close match.
