THE BAHRAIN YACHT CLUB HOLDS COVETED SPRING REGATTA
MANAMA (Sitra) – April 27th 2014: The Bahrain Yacht Club (BYC) was thrilled to hold it’s annual Spring Regatta last Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th of April.
The highly anticipated event was a hit with the local sailing community as well as boating and water sports enthusiasts from all across Bahrain, with over 300 visitors across both days of both members and non-members who were welcome to join in the fun for a small guest fee.
Families enjoyed a fantastic day out with a variety of activities including kayaking in the lagoon, a bouncing castle and outdoor games including balloon popping, ring toss and a sandcastle building competition for children. A DJ and a live band will kept guests entertained throughout the day, and a barbeque was also available on the beach, in the spirit of the perfect outdoor weather this time of year.
The annual event also included a competition where sailors will competed for the title of “Spring Regatta Champion”. This year’s regatta consisted of five races over the course of the day: three adult races and two junior races. The adult races will comprised Cruisers Yachts, Multi hulls and dinghies while the junior races only included dinghies.
The weather conditions of day one were moderate with the wind at 10 – 15 knots, which lead to some interesting racing across all fleets. Later in the day the wind dropped making conditions very tactical with a strong tidal flow in the afternoon! The waters were fierce with a total of 53 boats and 92 competitors in total.
Each category in each race division was awarded for their efforts with a ‘placed’ trophy or medal. Winners were also be presented a token as a keepsake of the competition. The results of the races were presented during an awards ceremony on Saturday afternoon. The results are as follows:
