Grenada Sailing Regatta

Well it was a great week of regatta racing and attending the after race parties at the local hotels and resorts. We were entered in the Cruising Class, which was quite competetive, and got better after the first few races. Boxxer was measured for the Caribbean rating system and we can now enter other races throughout the Caribbean if we want to. The 3rd day of racing was very very windy and many of the yachts suffered sail dammage and we were no exception!!! We lost our main sail after a reefing line snapped, the sail came appart badly and unfortunately is beyond repair. We have managed to obtain another main from a 50 foot Swan but it will have to be modified slightly to fit our rig. It was great fun and we met loads of fantastic people but it can be a very costly sport so we will have to assess entering any future Regattas. So stay tunned as new crew are arriving in a few days.
