John Maybury's Joker II of the host club moved from second place overnight to win the J109 European Championships by a point on Sunday after six races sailed at the J Cup Regatta at the Royal Irish Yacht Club on Dublin Bay.

Maybury's score of 14 put them a point ahead of clubmate Barry Cunnigham's Chimaera in the 11-boat fleet.

Finishing third and top corinthian was a third RIYC boat, Richard and Timothy Goodbody's White Mischief on 17.
