Carey Olsen Jersey Regatta Web Page update – 17th September 2024
Dear All
There goes the 26th edition of the combined clubs’ Jersey Regatta, the fifth kindly sponsored by leading offshore law firm Carey Olsen. Well done and a big ‘thank you’ to everyone afloat and ashore who made this great event such a success.
Just short of 70 boats competed over the three days in weather that was seriously reminiscent of that which challenged us all last year, light and variable in the main but with some slight improvement on Sunday. Thank you, one and all, for your patience and perseverance. As ever, it was great to see our visitors from Guernsey and the UK and we thank them very much for joining us.
Hearty congratulations to the class winners whose great efforts won them the ‘Best in Class’ prizes and, especially, to David Jones and Geoff Blackstone’s newly acquired X332, Jax, and Team Fahrenheit’s Farr 727, Fahrenheit, for clinching the 11th GBR IRC Channel Islands Championships in Classes 1 and 2Q, respectively.
A heartfelt vote of thanks goes to Carey Olsen, as ever, for their generosity and enthusiasm. It is, indeed, a privilege to have them on board and a delight to know that 2025 will be the firm’s sixth year in the sponsor’s seat.
We are, also, grateful to Jersey Marinas for their continued support in providing complimentary berthing for the cruiser and dayboat fleets and much other help, besides. Thanks also go to the DfI’s Parking Control Department for allowing the temporary boat park outside the RCIYC at St Aubin. We truly appreciate everyone’s support.
In conclusion, I am pleased to recommend that you inscribe Friday 12th to Sunday 14th September in your 2025 diary as that will be when we will be delighted to see you at the 27th edition of the Jersey Regatta.
Should you have any queries, observation or recommendations, please e-mail: info@jerseyregatta.com, in the first instance or call St Helier YC on + 44 (0) 1534 732229.
Fair winds and good sailing
