The Royal St. George Yacht Club Dragon Jaguar Sailing Team took third overall at the Commodore's Cup in Cannes, France on Sunday.
The keelboat trio of Martin Byrne, Adam Winkelmann and John Simms, who finished on 15 points, were competing in the final weekend event of the winter season.
The team were the First Corinthian crew in the fleet and third overall to the World Champion and European Champion.
Klaus Diederichs, Diego Negri and Jamie Lea took the overall win with ten points, and Grant Gordon, Luke Patience, James Williamson, and Mark Less were second with 14.
A second Irish crew, Denis Bergin, Declan Gordon and Joseph Bergin of the Royal Irish Yacht Club, finished second Corinthian crew in the 23-boat fleet.
There was one race on the last day in which the Jaguar crew were fourth.
The Royal St. George sailors broke the main halyard on the way to the race course in 30+ knots on Saturday.
"It's difficult to repair on the Dragon so we dropped mast overnight and set up a jury main halyard in order to race today", Winkelmann told Afloat. The 4th place score enabled them to drop an 18th, and we moved from 11th to third overall.
