Leg 1 Results

Except for the Class 40s and multihulls, which have their own classes, the Race is run under the irc handicap system. QII was designed instead for classes determined by boat length and so gets a terrible irc handicap. It puts her in class ! although she is one of the smaller boats in the fleet! So Mary was not expecting to beat many boats on irc.

To her amazement and delight the results posted at the Kinsale Yacht Club yesterday evening show QII 8th in the irc fleet of 39 boats QII sets off on leg 2 of the Race to Barra just before 10pm this evening.
