BVI
Orion from Puerto Rico won this year's Quantum IC24 International sailing regatta hosted by the Royal BVI Yacht Club. Orion was skippered by internationally-renowned sailor Fraito Lugo.
Racing was made particularly challenging this year, owing to the inclement weather that passed through the islands during the regatta. Courses had to be re-set several times as a result of changing wind-directions, and wind speeds varied from anything between zero and 25 knots!
Boat entries came from Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and the BVI, reflecting the increasingly international make-up of the event. Indeed, the top three boats were all from different countries. Second place went to BVI boat Sea Hawk, skipper Mike Hirst, and third place to St Thomas boat Brand New Second Hand, skipper Chris Curreri.
Race organiser from the Royal BVI Yacht Club, Guy Phoenix commented, "We were delighted that so many boats entered the regatta, particularly given the bad weather. We're hoping that next year we can build on the success of this year's events and see even more countries represented for this IC24 class. We must give special thanks to the event sponsors, Quantum Sails, who have been and remain continued supporters of this event."
