12 Rankins Contest Cork Harbour Regatta Race
Last Saturday in Cork Harbour saw the fourth Annual sailing of The Rankin Regatta Race since boat owners got together to form the group in 2014.
Twelve sailing Rankins took to the water for the first gun and a hotly contested race ensued. Damien Ahern's 'Star Ship Enterprise' made a tremendous start and looked for much of the race as if she would be regatta race winner for the second consecutive year. Damien's lead, however, was being pegged back by some great sailing in the following fleet.
Ewan O Keeffe's boat, along with Owen O Connell in Helga and Johnny Horgan's 'Freedom V' were nip and tuck coming up to the finish line with Johnny's 'Freedom V' taking the winner's gun just ahead of Owen in the Helga and Ewan O Keeffe a close third.
A great race well sailed by all boats and so fitting that the first Rankins built finished in the top two places in this year's race.
