Pwllheli Sailing Club's Peter Dunlop and Victoria Cox in the J122 Mojito leapfrogged from third to first place overall in the Royal Dee Offshore Championships after the final coastal race of the Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta on Sunday.

Mojito finished on 434.5 points compared to one-time leader Pata Negra, the Lombard 46 skippered by Andrew and Sam Hall, on 419.3. Third overall was Chris & Patanne Power Smith's J122 Aurelia from the Royal St. George Yacht Club on 410.0.

As regular Afloat readers know, the Halls took the lead in the Championships when they won line honours and the overall handicap prize in the Lyver race, the twelfth race of the ISORA Viking Marine Musto Championships from Dun Laoghaire to Holyhead on Saturday (July 6) but every result counted in the no discard series which saw Mojito take third place in the fourth light airs VDLR coastal to lift the Royal Dee trophy.

A division of this week's Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta, the Royal Dee Championship prizes were presented on the main stage of the VDLR after Ireland's biggest sailing event.
