Royal Cork Yacht Club member Christian Zugel, racing Volvo 70 Tschüss 2, skippered by Howth's Johnny Mordaunt, has set a new Monohull Race Record for the Cowes Dinard St Malo Race.
Tschüss 2 completed the 151nm course in an elapsed time of 10 hours 56 minutes 18 seconds.
The record has stood for eight years, having been set by Mike Slade’s Farr 100 Leopard 3 in 2015. Peter Morton’s Maxi 72 Notorious also broke the previous race record but was 44 minutes behind Tschüss 2.
Romain Pilliard’s 75ft Trimaran Use it again has taken Multihull Line Honours for the 2023 Cowes Dinard St Malo Race in an elapsed time of 11 hours 03 minutes 12 seconds, which is outside the Multihull Race Record.
The Monohull Line Honours win in the Cowes Dinard St Malo Race secures Tschüss 2 the Sandison Memorial Salver. However, the overall win after IRC time correction is yet to be decided.
