Twelve members of staff at the Pier Road-based company took part in the race, which involved 15 yachts crewed by corporate and charity teams.
Rawlinson & Hunter won two legs and overtook a yacht in the final stages of the third and final race to finish sixth – and therefore win overall.
Finishing equal on points with Barclays 2, the trust firm secured victory owing to its two previous wins.
Skippered by partner and sailing enthusiast Martin Richardson, the Rawlinson & Hunter team was the first recipient of the Le Tournoi Sailing Challenge trophy.
‘We are still riding high from our victory,’ said crew member Rachel Hunter.
‘Often parts of an organisation don’t have a lot of time to talk to each other, but this has really brought us together.
Everyone was involved, and not just those on board.
We are now really keen to defend our title next year.’
