#royalcork – At Bacardi Miami Sailing Week, Royal Cork's Anthony O'Leary – who was crowned Afloat's Sailor of the Year on Friday – has finished seventh overall in the 32-boat Viper fleet. Racing with Howth's Dan O'Grady and Cork clubmate Tom Durcan, the sole Irish trio's best individual result was a fourth which they achieved twice in races two and six of the nine race series.

Canadian Brad Boston on Jackpot took home the win with 22 points followed by Peter Beardsley (24 points) and Geoffrey Ewenson (26 points) both from the United States. "Perfect Miami conditions," said Brad Boston. " Started light, built up after race one and finished good. We sailed all week in just tee shirts, that alone is unbelievable! It came down to the last race in order to decide the series and it was nerve wrecking because at some point we lost track of the situation and we really didn't know where we were in terms of points.
