Edward Cross Long Distance Race Results
Stephen Dickinson was crowned the 2017 Edward Cross Long Distance Race Champion, a title he has claimed five years in a row and for the 20th time.
Dickinson proved he has what it takes to out think and out sail the field, he got off to a flying start and then headed for the shore line looking for any lift he could get off the island.
Dickinson although to many looked as if he had fallen back to 4th place at one point got what he was looking for and sailed pass the fleet and just like he has in the previous years, once he has his nose out front there was no stopping the sailor out of the East End mini Yacht Club.
Dickinson and his crew Pat Young crossed the line in a time of 2:45, with Gladwin Lambert and Stefan Maybury finishing second in 2:47 and Talbot Ingram and Lee Ingram finished third with a time of 2:48.

Enjoyed watching the Comets pass my place on North Shore Road. Stevie well to weather of the rest of the fleet, surprised he only won by two minutes.
What a wonderful spectacle to. J-Class racing in Murray’s Anchorage, Comet racing, Veendam on the horizon. Happy days.
It would be nice to see younger persons doing this instead of the old ones. Each one teach one.
