The Two White Sails Division at the 2023 Simply Blue Sovereign's Cup off Kinsale totalled 20 boats, roughly a fifth of the overall fleet at the four-day event. It's a contemporary size that Afloat's WM Nixon says is a sweet size for Kinsallions.
The white sailors were in the prizes on Saturday night, too, walking away with the Portcullis Trophy for the best performance under ECHO and the Michelle Dunn Prix d'elegance award to Division Two competitor, the restored 1954 Marian Maid, as Afloat reports here.
The Portcullis trophy for the best performance under ECHO was won by White Sails division One entry, Ronan Twomey's Beneteau 40.7, Rosmarina in an eight-boat fleet.
Alan Mulcahy's Albin Express Apache was the White Sails Two IRC winner.
Stephen Harris and Frank Hughes were the White Sails One IRC winners in the Beneteau 40.7 Tiger and were awarded the McCarthy Cup.
