J/109 Jedi Wins Royal Alfred's Offshore Series

6th September 2013

#rayc – Following an excellent four race series, the final positions in the Royal Alfred Yacht Club (RAYC) Offshore Series run in association with ISORA have been published writes RAYC Commodore Barry McNeaney.

In the Gold Fleet it was the last race that decided the result as "Jedi's" (Andrew Sarratt) magnificent first place allowed a discard on race two and they just pipped "Ruth" (Liam Shanahan) at the post! A margin of one point at the finish – it could not have been closer!

In the Silver fleet "Polished Manx" took a commanding lead from early in the Series. It was unfortunate that there were not more competitors in the last race as "Polished Manx" did not compete and "Windshift" ,who did compete and finished well could not amass the points needed to overtake them. Well done to "Polished Manx"!

Gold Fleet: points
1st Jedi 26
2nd Ruth 25
3rd Adelie 20
4th Lula Belle 18
5th Jointly Mojito and Tsunami 16

Silver Fleet: Points
