John Maybury's Joker 2 crew from the Royal Irish Yacht Club in Dun Laoghaire Harbour are racing on a chartered J122 and currently lying second in the Les Voiles de St Barths regatta.
It has been a week of big breeze and big seas but the Joker 2 crew have comfortably stepped up from their J109 to a J122 and are racing in CSA4 division.
A Mark Mills designed Summit 40 is currently leading the fleet and seems to have pace on the others boats. See regatta results here
After a well-deserved day off, the crews of the 11th edition of the Voiles de St. Barth Richard Mille got back to work on Friday but it was not without drama.
