This years race was attended by 12 teams, 11 Celtic Longboats and a Teifi Skiff. Due to bad sea conditions this years race couldn’t go around the island so the shortened course of 7 miles had to be run.
Congratulations to Llangwm Mixed team who were the overall winners for the second year in a row! Also winners of the Mixed class.
