Michael Boyd has added a class win in the RORC Caribbean 600 o his impressive sailing CV

Michael Boyd of the Royal Irish Yacht Club may have first leapt to prominence in offshore racing with his overall victory in the 1996 Round Ireland Race in the J/35 Big Ears. But his enthusiasm remains undimmed with achievements including the RORC Championship and other Round Ireland results well in the frame, and in late February he added yet another laurel with a key role in the interesting Lombard 46 Pata Negra’s class win in the RORC Caribbean 600 Race.
