    Barry Hurley owns the Round Rockall Race

    June 29, 2012

     
    Barry and Dinah finished the Round Rockall Race just after lunch today and, on corrected handicap, is the overall winner.  The fully crewed German entry Bank de Bremen finished yesterday at 15.30, but their heavier handicap put paid to their hopes.

    Rockall Island is a tiny rock, measuring just 25 x 31 meters and 21 meters high.  It is located some 423 km north west of Tory Island. Ownership of the island is disputed among Ireland, Great Britain, Iceland and Denmark.  It now belongs to Barry.
