Spectacular First Day Of Racing
;)
Top Gun rounds the windward mark – click to enlargeTight racing, great Caribbean weather and excellent race management characterized the first day of the 2009 BVI Spring Regatta. After a day of wind ranging from 11 – 15 knots, with a few zinger wind shifts and incredible sunshine, the mood in the Festival Village was festively mellow. Everyone seemed relaxed and had positive things to say about their day on the water. Results in many of the twelve classes are indicative of very tight competition among well matched boats.
In Division A, Jim Mitchell’s Vincitore, the Reichel Pugh 52, has three firsts and a second but Arethusa, Phillip Lotz’s Swan 42 is not far behind with three seconds and a first.
In Division B, Three Harkoms has a five point lead over Jamie Dobbs and Lost Horizon II. Alfred Koolen, from St. Maartin, sailing on Lost Horizon II said, “We’ve been to five regattas this year and won all five of them. We’re not going to win this one; we screwed up.” He went on to relate how in a short two mile race, they started late, hit the weather mark and finished a minute behind everyone else. Then he added, “If you want a quote, the quote is, ‘This regatta has the best sailing instructions in the Caribbean and everything else. Everything is done properly.’”
Vincitore Wins Nanny Cay Cup
Vincitore heads for Nanny Cay – click to enlargeVincitore won today’s Nanny Cay Cup with Three Harkoms second and Arethusa third. Vincitore roared down from North Sound in 2 hrs, 11 mins.

With winds of 12 – 14 throughout the day, magnificent blue skies and turquoise water, the BVI Sailing Festival fleet sailed from North Sound, Virgin Gorda, downwind to finish just off the entrance of Nanny Cay Marina in Tortola.
The sleek, iridescent blue hulled Vincitore took the top spot from James Hudleston’s Three Harkoms and won the Nanny Cay Cup. Tom Rinda, the race officer said that after the start, and a short upwind leg, Vincitore took off like a rocket ship. Vincitore’s captain, Colin Booth, said that the boat sails relatively well upwind but really performs downwind. He reported top speeds of 26 – 27 knots with the boat reaching 20 knots easily. Today, Vincitore’s elapsed time for the eighteen mile course was two hours and ten minutes, more than one half hour in front of the next boat. With Three Harkoms in second, Arethusa, owned by Philip Lotz, moved into the winner’s circle with a third place finish. Guy Eldridge’s Luxury Girl was behind by only four seconds corrected.
Three Harkoms Wins Bitter End Cup
;)
Three Harkoms chases Yeoman off the start line – click to enlargeEnthusiastic sailors left the dock this morning for the first race of the 2009 BVI Sailing Festival under cloudy skies and with 15 – 20 knots of breeze. Although the weather during the first leg of the race was somewhat damp between a little bit of spray and the occasional squall line, it did not compare to last year’s conditions which forced many boats to drop out due to the extreme wind and sea conditions. This year, despite a few early clouds, it was a picture perfect day for racing.
The course for the Bitter End Cup led the fleet from Drake Channel south east between Salt Island and Dead Chest, then the beat continued due east up the south side of Salt and Cooper. The fleet turned north heading back into the channel between Cooper and Ginger Islands, leaving the Dogs to starboard before heading east to the entrance of North Sound at Colquhoun Cut. The finish line was off the Bitter End Yacht Club.
