Half Ton Classics Cup 2025

Here are some photos of today’s spectacular racing:

With only one race possible tomorrow and three straight bullets in today’s races, its now officially confirmed that Swuzzlebubble is the Half Ton Classics Cup Champion 2014!  Huge congratulations to Peter Morton and his team.

While we wait for the results to come through and the photos to download off the camera here is a quick interview with did with David Evans, owner of Hullabaloo XV, last night:

What an exciting and spectacular race around the rocks! Once again Swuzzlebubble led all the way but Brittany Drizzle and Gen Tapioca were chasing hard. Sibelius finished fifth after a fantastic battle with Concorde

This time we really are off around the rocks!

Sorry, there was a last minute change of plan and race 6 was another windward leeward. Once again Swuzzlebubble escaped the pack, but behind her the battle between Brittany Drizzle, Sibelius and General Tapioca is raging. On the line Drizzle crossed ahead of Sibelius with Tapioca third but on corrected its too close to call.

Our next race (6) is going to be a short coastal race around the nav marks and rocks just to add interest and keep us on our toes. Its time for the navigators to shine again! Wind is down a bit to around 14 knots.

The committee if making the legs shorter today at just 1.2 miles which is keeping the fleet closely packed and making for done exciting mark roundings. None the less Swuzzlebubble sailed another blinder to lead the fleet handsomely at the finish. Sibelius and Brittany Drizzle match raced their way round again with Drizzle just getting in front on the line. General Tapioca was hard on their heels followed by Checkmate and Concorde. Exiting stuff!

Conditions are just perfect out here for the start of race 5 with around 16 knots from the NW. Committee setting up to start.

At this morning’s briefing the race committee confirmed that today they are aiming to run three or possibly four more windward leeward races today.  With the points so tight at the top of the leaderboard and only one race possible on the final day tomorrow its going to be an interesting day. We have sunshine and a lovely northwesterly breeze again so we’re all set for another fantastic day.  Stand by for updates from the race area shortly and don’t forget you can also follow on the Half Ton Class (in English) and SNSQP Facebook (in French) pages too.
