Mandrake 2 takes China Coast Race Week
Nick Burns and Fred Kinmonth's IRC 40 Mandrake 2 triumphed in IRC 1 of Hong Kong's most important event, the 2011 China Coast Race Week which combines the results of the inshore China Coast Regatta with the Hong Kong to Vietnam Offshore Race. She dominated the inshore series with five bullets ahead of the the Summit 40 Blondie, and combined those with a close second in the offshore to take the overall title. Three different Mills Design 40 footers have now won their class at the China Coast Regatta for the past four years running, a remakable feat at one of Asia's premium inshore events.
Tokoloshe Tokoloshe, the Summit 40 of Mike Bartholomew triumphed against the best of the Solent Big Boat Fleet at the Garmin Hamble Winter Series. In a 17 boat IRC 0 class encompassing 35-52' Tokoloshe took five firsts over 11 races, ending with almost a third of the points of the second placed finisher.
White Witch Larry Landry's Summit 40 won her class in both PHRF and IRC of the Greenport Ocean Race as well as the overall prize, the Old Cove Perpetual IRC Trophy. Raced from Greenport to Montauk and back, the course was mostly 15-25kn jib and shy spinnaker reaching.
