Nanny Cay hosted ARC Europe participants for the second year - 18 yachts departed for Bermuda on May 6th.

Once again, it was a picture perfect day in the British Virgin Islands for the last day of racing of the BVI Spring Regatta, with sun and wind all day long. There were a number of battles out on the race course which were fought to the very end providing plenty of action on the SOL, Norman and LIME One Design Race areas. It was a given the Tom Hill, sailing Titan XV would take the top spot in Racing A. With five firsts and two seconds, they ended the series three points ahead of Vela Veloce, Richard Oland’s Southern Cross 52. No stranger to the winner’s circle, Tom is always gracious. On stage he thanked the organization and said, “I look forward to sailing BVI every year. I race up north in the rain and cold and I love coming to the BVI.”

Soma, a St John-based Formula 40 catamaran and frequent BVI visitor, smashed the Round Tortola Record yesterday in the first attempt on the Nanny Cay Challenge announced in February. Soma circumnavigated Tortola and outer islands in 2 hours, 50 minutes and 15 seconds smashing Triple Jack’s record of 3 hours, 33 minutes and 27 seconds set in the PegLegs Round Tortola Race November last year.

After numerous line honours in the Round Tortola Race since her arrival in the BVI in 1997, Triple Jack managed to claim overall victory on the fortieth anniversary of the Peg Legs Round Tortola Race held Saturday, November 21st. In conditions seemingly made for this trimaran, she circumnavigated Tortola in three hours, thirty-three minutes and twenty-seven seconds beating closest rival Jurakan, a Melges 32, by 42 minutes across the line.

The Caribbean 1500 Rally left Hampton VA on November 2 after a week of preparatory briefings, safety inspections, and gala social events. The Caribbean 1500 fleet arrived at the official host port and sponsor, Nanny Cay Resort & Marina, 6-10 days later with many veteran skippers recording "personal best" passage times.

Nanny Cay Resort & Marina was host of ARC Europe for the first time this year. We were host to 28 yachts before they departed for Bermuda on May 7.

For the 8th year in a row, Nanny Cay Resort & Marina was host to the BVI Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival. Conditions were perfect; 122 yachts competed in 12-14 knots for the three days of racing. See the week's photos here.
