Excellent coverage of the Cowes weekend, but a small correction needed.

The Kiekhaefer Aeromarine III boat is a 36 foot boat, not 31 foot boat.

1. Fountain Merc QC4V 860s
2. outerlimits merc 1075s (turned down?)
3. Dragon 39 Ilmors

impressive mix of V bottom race boats! Good boy OL, 39 Skater V, and another Fountain also in the mix. *pantera 41 step bottom !

The winner was in the classifieds.
