Beau Geste lifts the Britannia Cup 🏆⛵️
The prestigious Britannia Cup took centre stage on North Sails Race Day, bringing together IRC Classes Zero and One with the Cape 31 fleet for one of the week’s biggest contests.
Presented by King George VI in 1950, the Cup was decided in fresh conditions as the fleet battled west against the tide. The long beats played into the hands of the powerful TP52s, which claimed the first four places overall.
It was Hong Kong-owned Beau Geste that came out on top, earning one of the most celebrated trophies at North Sails Cowes Week. Congratulations to the entire team! 👏
