Royal BVI Yacht Club Dinghy Championships award winners
By Dean “The Sportsman” Greenaway
Four were crowned National Champions on Saturday, when the BVI Dinghy Championships were held in the waters of the Sir Francis Drakes Channel across from Nanny Cay.
The annual event was making a comeback after the Covid-19 pandemic cancelled the 2020 edition and attracted 18 sailors in four divisions.
“It was a tricky day on the water for everyone,” noted Public Relations Officer Tamsin Rand of the event that had a record 76 participants in 2016 and 53 in 2017. “As squalls danced their way down the channel, the mark boat team were kept busy shifting the marks to keep the race track stable and the sailors were kept on their toes to make the best tactical decisions.”

It was a day of shifty winds and rain squalls but a cracking day for a yacht race as the Royal British Virgin Islands Yacht Club (RBVIYC) held its final race for the 2020 calendar year.
