On corrected time, the Lagoon 560 Blue Ocean wins the multihulls division, followed by One Dream, a Lagoon 440 (2nd). Voahangy, another Lagoon 560 finishes 4th ,while Elektra I, a Lagoon 440, ranks 6th.

Congratulations to the Polish, Hungarian, Australian and Canadian crews who superbly demonstrated the speed potential of their cruising boats against «performance » catamarans.
