The overall winner racing under IRC for the Royal Ocean Racing Club's Myth of Malham Race was the British HH42 INO XXX, raced by the RORC Commodore James Neville.
Niklas Zennström's brand new Swedish CF-520 Rán 8 was second overall and took line honours in an elapsed time of just over 26 hours for the 230-mile course. Ed Bell's British JPK 1180 Dawn Treader had an excellent race, placing third overall and winning IRC One.
The Myth of Malham Cup was given to the RORC by Captain John Illingworth in 1958 and is named after his famous boat, which won the 1947 and 1949 Fastnet Race. The race mirrors the start of the Rolex Fastnet Race. 68 teams from eight different nations took part in the 2022 edition of the Myth of Malham Race. An unusual downwind start got the fleet away at a fast pace out of the Solent. During the course of the race, the fleet experienced a huge range of conditions from 5-25 knots, and at times a significant sea state.
