Kick 'em Jenny and Pelican Marina Residences take Home the Prizes for 2010 Keelboat Series
 |
| Winner of Boat of the Year, Ian Hope Ross and crew from Kick'Em Jenny. | On Saturday July 31st the Sint Maarten Yacht Club organized the prize giving of the 2010 Keelboat Series. The event was also the unofficial opening of the new bar of the club: the bar has been extended into a large U-form, giving plenty space for the about 80 skippers, crew and supporters which represented the 16 local boats who participated in the series over the last 9 months. While the new bar wasn't completely ready yet and is (at time of writing) waiting for a new proprietor, the atmosphere at the club was excellent - the food was homemade and complimentary, while beverages were served by volunteers. An excellent opening night, even if it was unofficial.

James Avenges Laser Loss with Marlow Regatta Win
 |
| First place team sponsored bt Budget Marine Antigua, Karl James, Ashley Rhodes and Bishop Rhodes. | Karl James' number one Antiguan team turned in a typically masterful show to win the two day Marlow One Design Caribbean Keelboat Championship that concluded Sunday, never dropping below third in any of the eighteen heats sailed. It was consolation for James, a top Caribbean sailor and former Olympian who couldn't get a handle on the light conditions at last week's Laser Championship, finishing third overall. He relished this weekend's confused mixture of downpours, and blustery conditions in the Simpson Bay Lagoon that made racing the Sunfast 20s more unpredictable than ever.
