Sovereign's Cup Photos - Day One

Waterford Harbour's Shane Statham leads Cruiser II IRC after the first two windward-leeward races of the Sovereign's Cup today. The opening races were sailed in 12-15 knot perfect north-westerly breezes allowing the Kinsale event to live up to its pre-event billing as the south coast's biggest and best sailing event of 2011. Here's Bob Bateman's photos to prove it:
