Borrius Broek, the Owner on board Heartbeat was over the moon with the
result, she bought the 23.8m Claasen yacht specifically big enough (and
still the smallest in the fleet) so that she could enter the Superyacht
Cup. "It was our dream to participate in the Superyacht regatta, we have
been fine tuning for 3 years and are now the winners. We are very
happy."

In
Class 1, Highland Breeze ranked first overall in front of P2,
Salperton. However competition was tough in the last legs of today's
final race; Salperton had the edge on P2 and Rebecca as they rounded the
final mark, however lost out to P2 over the line as they had to put a
final gybe in to lay the line.
Freya
has put in some consistent results over the event, Mike Toppa the
tactician aboard summed up the general feeling of the event perfectly;
"We have been having a ball, the sailing here is fantastic. The Owner
has never raced before and is doing a great job at driving his boat, he
is here with his friends and family and having a brilliant time."
For
the J's, it was all about the start in their last coastal race today.
Velsheda charged the line and had by far the most spectacular start of
the regatta.The all important first beat saw Hanuman round the first
windward mark first, followed by shortly after by Velsheda. The next leg
was a short reach, with Hanuman, Velsheda having a good lead on Ranger,
Rainbow and Lionheart. Hanuman continued to lead the procession around
the 2 hour course,second place was Velsheda making good on her
fantastic start, followed by Ranger, Lionheart and Rainbow. Overall
results, see Hanuman the victor (this will be 7 out of 8 firsts for
her), Lionheart and Ranger have equal points however with a first in
Race 3 Lionheart takes second, with Velsheda fourth and Rainbow fifth.
