Presented by Commodore of the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC), Andrew McIrvine, three Swan yachts from the global fraternity were invited to this prestigious annual event which celebrates some of the highest profile racing on the international circuit to date.
Mark Devereux who campaigned an offshore racing programme this year with his Club Swan 42, Brevity, was presented with the ‘Arambalza Swan Cup’. Brevity was the best Swan overall in IRC for the whole RORC 2011 season.
British owner Alastair Evans aboard Alvine XV, his Swan 37, also had a good end to the year’s racing winning the Red Funnel Prix d’Elegance.
The Swan 62 Uxorious IV had significant success during the race season, taking a momentous overall fleet victory in the Cowes – Dinard – St. Malo Race. Colin Buffin was awarded an Assuage Tankard, recounting his experience afloat this summer Buffin commented.
“The start was electric, with a jib top and a staysail, the boat really lit up! We have only recently started racing the Swan 62 and I am absolutely delighted with the performance, she handled the heavy weather without any problems at all”.
