40 Boats checked in for the Round the Island Sea Gull Race at Sandys Boat Club, but only 37 boats set off – due to engines not starting or working well enough to enter the race.
And just before 2:00 pm there was an exciting race for line honors, officials could see a green boat and a white one – fighting for the lead – swopping over – at the end – Ozzie/Brian in Ruby pipped the green boat driven by Mark Jordan at the line.
Another close fight was between Family Jules and Spencer Wood’s boat.... 2 Huckleberries. They were fighting each other since rounding the point from Dockyard. Family Jules managed to beat them.
Stephen Roberts and his son Jake managed to break the old record for Class E2. Well done!!! Despite the fact he wanted to put his feet up after his golfing trip away.... The boat name - Knot Gullfin - is rather appropriate in the circumstance!!
