They say the IC 24 was conceived as a boat that could be comfortably sailed by families. The crew of Sea Hawk proved that this weekend, sweeping to a 12 point margin of victory after 10 races in the Quantum Sails International Regatta organised by the Royal BVI Yacht Club. Of course it helps if the family name is Hirst, skipper Michael joining wife Sayula and brother Robbie making up 3 of the crew, together with Becky Paull-Rowlette and Mark Stephenson. Lest they get too comfortable, they did not have it all their own way, others won 5 of the ten heats, but at the end of the day consistency came through as Sea Hawk finished lower than second only once.

IC-24 North American Championships

On the weekend of June 6-7, five sailors representing the BVI traveled to Dallas, Texas for the IC-24 North American Championships on Lake Ray Hubbard. It was a unique opportunity to race IC-24s on an inland lake, as Lake Ray Hubbard has the largest fleet of IC-24s outside of the Caribbean. Team LIME’s chartered boat was light pink and aptly named “Tickled.” The BVI LIME team of helmsman Alec Anderson, Nick Cuhna, Fred Ruebeck, Ant Whiting and Matt Younkle—accustomed to steady trade winds in the BVI waters—had to adjust to shifty conditions typical of inland lakes. Rush Creek Yacht Club, the regatta organizer, ran nine races over the course of two days. Conditions were excellent, with blue skies and solid 15-20 knots of breeze.
