A decision on the final day’s racing was taken at 10:43 Wednesday and with the Dublin Bay buoy recording 23 knots with gusts in the low thirties, the obvious decision, to cancel racing has been taken by Race Officer Jack Roy.
Thus Nathan Batchelor and Richard Rigg take victory in the Subaru 2019 Championship of Ireland.
Batchelor and Rigg were team of the day, Tuesday, with a 1, 1, 2 scoreline taking them into the lead of the Championship of Ireland.
Overnight leaders Richard Lovering and Matt Alvarado took the final race win to placed second overall, with Greg Wells and Andrew Jameson powering into third place.
The first Irishman in the overall placing is Alan Green in the Anglo Irish combination with Charles Apthorp – finishing 8th overall.
In the Silver Fleet the honours go to the South African combination of Patrick Harris and Jeremy Kriek in 20th, followed by Lee Statham & Andy Paul (21st) (IRL) and Ashley Smith and Charles Apthorp (Jnr) (AUS) in 22nd.
In Bronze the honours go to Alistair Stevenson and Jeremy Valentine (GBR) in 36th, followed by Ben Mulligan and Cormac Bradley (37th) and Tom Murphy and Carel la Roux (39th), the latter two being part of the host fleet.
