Round the Island Wrap Up
Moonspray crossed the finish line at 20.39 shortly followed at 20.52 by The Challenge Ellen MacArthur Trust Yacht . Both Crews had a great day on the water the conditions had been changeable all day very light at the start gusty around St Catherine’s Point before turning through 180 degrees and disappearing completely for some time as both yacht parked up at Bembridge. Comedian/writer Dave Spikey was a guest crew for Prostate UK and remarked on his way round: “I thought the Ellen MacArthur Trust people would be copying their patron by sailing single-handed. I distinctly saw them all using two!”
The trust was also represented on the water by our Founding Patron onboard the BT Open 60, Trust Ambassador Dan Monk on Liara, Kirsten Percival and Family onboard their Beaneteau 21.7, Simon Townsend our Voyage Co-ordinator sailing with JP Morgan Asset Management and our intrepid cyclists from JP Morgan Bournemouth office and joined by Round Britain Skipper Cath Vise and Talks Co-ordinator Joey Bootle
