Rolex IRC National Championship, Day 4 Photos

 

 Numbers, skippered by Dan Meyers, won IRC 1 with three first-place finishes and three second-place finishes. Rolex/Daniel Forster photos.

 Richard Oland's Vela Voloce won IRC 2 with four firsts and two seconds.

 

 Christopher Dragon, skippered by Andrew Weiss, finished at the top of IRC 4. One point behind was Avalanche, Craig Albrecht.

 

  Rush, Bill Sweetser, ended up second in IRC 5, to Storm, Rick Lyall.  However both boats -- J/109s -- had identical scores of 17 points and many iterations of the tie-breaking procedure were necessary to determine a winner.

 

 The start on Saturday of IRC 3.
