Cowes Week, UK. The Etchells Invitational Cup saw 20 different clubs from around the world compete in a matched fleet from Etchells. It was the first time for this event, which required no more than a single pro member per boat crew.

It turned into a close fought race with 3 leading boats all in the running on the final day. But it was the team from Antigua who managed to claim the overall victory.
