this season, with continued success.

Cup
The
winning team was the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club from Australia,
with both boats using Deckman for Windows. In the IRC class, America's

Movistar, which also had DfW aboard. The next four boats

In
the IMS 600 class, Australian boat Aftershock, navigated
by Volovo Ocean Race veteran Adrienne Cahalan, was also placed
first carrying DfW.
Transpac
After
over a week of racing, just over 4 hours seperated the two Reichel-Pugh
77s in Division 1. Philippe Kahn's Pegasus was the winner,
navigated by Mark Rudiger and Deckman for Windows. Roy E. Disney's
Pyewacket was second, navigated by former Stars and Stripes
navigator Peter Isler.
First
on the water in Division 2 was Bob Lane's Medicine Man
carrying Deckman for Windows. Second to finish was Karl Kwok's
new Transpac 52 Beau Geste, carrying a Sailmath WTP and
Deckman for Windows, navigated by Steve Hayles.
The
Cal 40s had their own class this year, with legendary navigator
Stan Honey sailing his own boat Illusion to victory.
Rolex
Fastnet
Deckman for Windows dominated this offchore classic, being used
on the top six boats in the overall standings, including the winning
boats in both class 0 and 1. The race was won by Charles Dunstan's

Jules Salter navigating. Class 0 was won by Jazz and
class 1 by Dutch boat Holmatro, both also carrying DfW.
