As in the ladies’ event, the Irene Too finished strongly, this time in second position, being beaten by Roseland’s new gig, the Polvarth. The Islands’ Tregathen’s finished in third position.

In both events, it was great to see over 10 more crews competing – meaning that the veterans’ events are growing faster than the younger adults’ main event.
