Peter S Rebovich Snr and his crew from Sinn Fein, the classic Cal 40 were the toast of Hamilton, after scooping up much of the silverware from this year's Newport Bermuda Race.
Their haul included the St. David's Lighthouse, one of the most coveted prizes in offshore racing, together with the new North Rock Beacon Trophy for the top finisher in both the Gibbs Hill and St. David's Lighthouse Divisions under the IRC rating system. The North Rock Beacon Trophy was donated by the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club and awarded for the first time on Saturday evening.
This is Sinn Fein's second consecutive St. David's Lighthouse win and their fourth consecutive Class 1 victory. Only one other boat, Carleton Mitchell's Finnesterre, has won the St. David's Lighthouse Trophy more often. That was in 1956, 1958 and 1960.
