This year sets a new record, as 18 Dragonflys and multihulls in total 31competed in the race. It was a very tough race with 70% of the 135 NM Race upwind in wind conditions up to 35 knots true wind. The weather was extremely cold and rainy throughout the race. Unfortunately, the rather extreme weather conditions meant that rougly 100 out of the 300 boats withdrew from the regatta.
