Vaquita on course to smash ARC 2011 record
Vaquita leads out the Racing Division start in Las PalmasIf the wind holds the 40-foot Vaquita, skippered by Christof Petter from Austria, will break the record for the fastest ARC crossing ever for a monohull under 60-feet. Vaquita has made extraordinary progress since leaving Gran Canaria, and is only 50 miles behind the leading boats and over 250 miles ahead of her closest rival in the Racing Division.
The ARC 2011, now in its 25th year, departed from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria on 20 November and set sail for Rodney Bay Marina in Saint Lucia, a distance of some 2,700 nautical miles. Many of the yachts will return in the ARC Europe, which will leave Nanny Cay on 5 May next year.
Movember Gala on the beach at Nanny Cay
Freeman Rogers, Man of Movember 2011Much tomfoolery, hijinks, a little bad taste, and a lot of dubious facial hair, was seen on the beach at Nanny Cay last night as we hosted the Movember Gala for the third time. Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men’s health. This year’s event was elevated to stratospheric heights when Sir Richard Branson made a surprise appearance joining Governor Boyd McCleary, Tamara Archibald-Gill, Miles Sutherland-Pilch and the BVI Cancer Society on the judging panel.
Freeman Rogers of the BVI Beacon was crowned Man of Movember 2011 with a magnificent specimen – his second win – while Jason Smith, Freeman’s colleague at the BVI Beacon won the Mo Lumberjack award.
Caribbean 1500 wraps up at Nanny Cay with Defiant safely on the dock
The crew of Defiant receive their awardsWith only an hour to go before the start of the Caribbean 1500 latecomers prizegiving, Defiant, sailing under emergency tiller, came in loud and clear on the Nanny Cay VHF. Kimberleigh and Lyndon Humer’s Wauquiez 43 made its final approach to Nanny Cay under tow from new dockmaster Brendon Joyce, as her propeller had fouled at the same time as the steering failure, and was greeted by thunderous applause from the many rally participants who had been waiting anxiously for her arrival.
For Defiant, the rum punch on the dock, the last served by World Crusing Club staff this year, was hard earned and well deserved. For Lyndon, Kimberleigh and their 18-year-old son Dylan, the passage was their first offshore. It was certainly a baptism by fire. “We were sailing in 30 to 35 knots, with big waves astern,” said Dylan. “A wave reared up behind us, and with a sickening ‘POP!’ the steering went and we were out of control.”
