The bi-annual ACC Bank Cork Week is one of Europe’s largest regattas and <strong>Oyster</strong>catcher<br />
was racing in a highly competitive Class Zero fleet against 17 other yachts. With the best<br />
seven races to count, <strong>Oyster</strong>catcher scored 6 x 1st and 1 x 2nd to easily win her class and<br />
became a strong contender to claim the best overall performance. On most races times were<br />
taken between every leg upwind and downwind and compared with the competition. These<br />
were then re-calculated against each yacht’s IRC rating to get a net gain or loss on each leg.<br />
These comparisons create a learning tool that can and does find its way into the design<br />
process for <strong>Oyster</strong> yachts.<br />
Oh yes, and then there was Skandia Cowes Week, the most competitive fleet yet including<br />
many of the yachts that had taken part in the Commodore’s Cup the month before. Tides<br />
play a big part racing from Cowes and we were very pleased with our 1 x 1st and 1 x 2nd.<br />
We continue to believe that while we race our owners get the results.<br />
