With some boats still at sea in the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race after nearly two weeks,it was decided on 2nd September that Artemis Ocean Racing had claimed overall victory.
RORC Racing Manager, Ian Loffhagen announced; "Whilst there are still yachts racing in the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race, the unusual easterly winds are hampering their progress to the finish.
There is no real possibility of a competing yacht eclipsing the corrected time set by Artemis Ocean Racing. Therefore, Artemis Ocean Racing, can claim victory in the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race overall under IRC, as well as the course record for an IMOCA 60.
Congratulations to Jonny Malbon and his crew on Artemis Ocean Racing."
