Since I grew up aboard, it was always a given that someday I’d circumnavigate but there was ‘many a slip between the cup and lip’ as they say. My first boat rotted faster than I could wood-butcher new planks and frames into her. It took me a while to build a new 36-foot ketch from scratch with empty pockets.

The second annual St. Thomas Yacht Club (STYC) Invitational Regatta will take place on May 14-16, 2021. Run out of the Club s St. Thomas Sailing Center (STSC) in Cowpet Bay, this event will welcome 8 teams representing the U.S. Virgin Islands, U.S.A., and Sweden. COVID-19 safety precautions will be in place per the USVI Government s executive orders. For example, crews are limited to three in the IC24 and will race jib and main, thus eliminating extra crew needed to fly a spinnaker. Plus, competitors will social distance and wear facial buffs.
In Fabric, BBC Two, 11.20pm Writer-director Peter Strickland follows the stylised weirdness of Berberian Sound Studio and The Duke Of Burgundy with an off-kilter horror comedy about a desirable red dress that hungers for the blood of any woman that dares wear it. Catalogue model Jill (Sidse Babett Knudsen, who also starred in The Duke Of Burgundy) meets a grisly fate after she slips on the red fabric. The couture becomes an object of obsession for divorcee Sheila (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), who spots the garment in a sale at her local department store. She hopes the striking red dress will empower her to face odious boss Clive (Steve Oram) and wipe the smug grin off the face of her son’s condescending girlfriend, Gwen (Gwendoline Christie). Sheila is completely unprepared for the transformation the frock will inspire or the carnage that will be left in her wake.
