Jurakan, skippered by Andrew Waters, won Racing Class in a corrected time of 4 hours, 39 minutes and 58 seconds – just 5 seconds ahead of second-place Pipe Dream, skippered by Haycraft. Third place went to Kevin Rowlette's Rushin' Rowlette.

Last year's winners Triple Jack, with helm Richard Wooldridge, won the multi-hull class, and Bill Bailey's Second Nature was victorious in Cruising Class.

There were 16 yacht entries this year, an increase of 3 on 2010. Crew and helms flew in from as far afield as Connecticut and Puerto Rico, underlining the increasing prestige with which this event is regarded.

The wind was relatively light at around 12 knots, so the Round Tortola records were not in danger of being surpassed. Nonetheless, benign sea conditions ensured the yachts were able to complete their circumnavigation in very respectable times.

Prize-giving was held at Peg Leg's beach bar at Nanny Cay. Prizes were provided by Nanny Cay and Peg Legs as race sponsors, and General Manager Miles Southerland-Pilch presented them to the top three yachts in each class. Before the results were announced the assembled sailors and crowd at Nanny Cay held a one-minute round of applause in Dave West's memory.

Jurakan's crew assembled on stage to receive their first prize and the Peg Leg's Round Tortola Trophy. Waters made a short speech, which all the crew had agreed in advance would be the most fitting way to commemorate West. It ended with the crowd raising their glasses to the words “Cheers Dave”.
