Volvo Cork Week organisers have updated the regatta's overall IRC Two class results following a protest on the final day of racing by the regatta's technical committee against second-placed competitor Swuzzlebubble.
The updated results do not affect the winning Half Tonner 2 Farr but drop Swuzzlebubble to fourth overall.
The third-placed boat, another Half Tonner, Miss Whiplash, moves up to second and third place now goes to Sigma 38, Sam from the UK.
The week-long biennial regatta concluded last Friday, July 19th, following a closely fought battle for the IRC Two overall prize between three Half Tonners at the top of the 12-boat fleet.
A protest was taken on Friday following a 'post-race equipment inspection', and a hearing decision gave a "20% place penalty to be applied to all races calculated as per RRS 44.3(c)" against KZ3494 Swuzzlebubble.
Swuzzebubble skipper David Dwyer told Afloat: " A genuine mistake was made with this new sail for this regatta. This has been corrected now".
