Disappointment in Kinsale, County Cork for the 90 competing boats as the penultimate day's 2023 Sovereign's Cup racing was cancelled this morning in light of sea conditions, "actual and forecast weather".

The final day of racing will be held tomorrow, Saturday, with forecasts indicating similar strong southerly winds.

Beginning on Wednesday, the first two days of racing in light winds have produced an exciting range of coastal and round-the-cans racing, view all Afloat's reports, photos and results on one handy link here
