Olfrygt Wins the ½ Ton Cup 10th April 2010

The ½ ton cup is held each year by Claremont & Hillarys Yacht clubs. It consist of 2 offshore races. The 1st race is from Fremantle up to Hillarys (Mariners Cup for Div 1and the ½ ton cup for Div 2). The race back on Sunday is the Shepherdess Cup.




The events date back to the early 1970’s, and were inaugurated by Alan Bond. He needed to have a yachting regatta to qualify for sending a 12m challenge to Rhode Island. This eventually led to him winning the Cup in 1983.

But Saturday was our moment of glory, and

we were somewhat weary on Sunday.

We also beat all the Div 1 boats on IRC.



Hughie was not kind for the return race, and we could not win the double.
