Tom Kneen’s JPK 1180 Sunrise scored the best corrected time under IRC to win the 2021 Morgan Cup, the third race of the Royal Ocean Racing Club Season’s Points Championship.
The impressive RORC fleet got away on a spinnaker run, exiting the Solent to the east before turning upwind to race in the English Channel to finish at Dartmouth, Devon.
After one of the hottest days of the year, the overnight race was held in the comfort of a warm south-westerly breeze. However, dense fog greeted the fleet as they tacked around the southside of the Isle of Wight.
