 Victory was very sweet tonight at the return of the heroes of Team Ireland from the Rolex Commodores’ Cup. In his welcome Admiral Paddy McGlade mentioned there were ten trophies for the event, eight of which were won by Team Ireland. One was for best British boat that obviously Ireland couldn’t win, and the other was for best female crew category which they certainly couldn’t win!

 August 20, 2010 11.45pm. Update: There has been a points change on the leaderboard in the Provisional Results. Roxy 6 has been given one point for race 6 and Rockall lll has been given two points, This now means that Team Ireland has a 38 point lead on 63.5 with Team Hong Kong on 101.5.
Report 9.30pm: Now on 64.5 points to second placed Hong Kong’s 100.5, the Irish team’s position at the Rolex Commodores’ Cup is looking all but unassailable. With just one inshore race to go to-morrow, counting for double points, it would now take a major disaster in all three classes for the Irish to lose their grip of the trophy that has eluded them for so long.
