Nanny Cay Nations Cup - Can anyone dethrone Team BVI?

That’s the big question. The Hirst Brothers have handily won the last two NCNC’s.  Last year they scored nothing worse than a third place after 14 races. John Holmberg, whose USVI team was just one of the 13 national teams beaten by the unstoppable Hirsts, was overheard muttering that he would be getting his brother Peter in to ‘sort those Hirst boys out’.

We know that Peter Holmberg will be at the BEYC ‘ProAm’ at the end of October so could it be possible?  All will be revealed so watch this space.

The NCNC is sponsored by Nanny Cay Marina.  "This event fits Nanny Cay’s profile nicely," comments Miles Sutherland-Pilch. "We have supported the BVI IC24 fleet since the get go and enjoy teaming up with Racing In Paradise to host a quality international regatta."

For Sale…IC24 IVB 31 ’Black Pearl’

This is the first time a BVI IC24 has come on the market.

Mike Masters, aka ‘Jack Sparrow’ is ready to move on and let the ‘Pearl’ go.  Mike has been involved with the IC24 fleet for over 4 years and has enjoyed more than a few ‘golden moments’ racing his pride and joy.

Mike is not known as someone who does anything by halves, ‘Pearl’ is in the kind of condition that you would expect with a perfectionist owner who owns a machine shop!  However for personal reasons Mike is now offering the ‘Pearl’ for sale.
