Photos/Results: Bacardi Keelboat Sailing Regatta
The Bacardi Keelboat Regatta [BKR] in its fifth year came to a conclusion today [Nov 23] with the group of competitors — both local and international — sailing in the J105, International One Design [IOD] and Etchells classes.
A spokesperson said, “What a glorious day out on the water today for the final day of Bacardi Keelboat Regatta 2019.
“Winds were a steady 10 – 13 kts from a Westerly direction for the day. The Race Officer, Tom Clarke [IRO], managed to get all the required racing in for the Regatta, despite loosing Thursday to high winds.
“The best result of the regatta was that the Protest Committee, after yesterday’s mammoth 3 hour session, had no work today!
“The event is grateful to our title sponsor, Bacardi Limited and host sponsor, BTA.”
