High Spirit Wins Cowes Small Ships Race

10/9/2019

Contessa 33 High Spirit won this year’s UK Sail Training Association Annual Cowes Small Ships Race on Saturday 5th October with a Ballard School team also representing the RLymYC.
Andy Maskell says, “Success!  We won overall line honours and 1st in Class D racing against a former Admirals Cup racer and up to 70 footers we were mighty pleased to beat them over the water. I was the owner/skipper with an all-female crew of our school secretary (a keen racer) and four Ballard girls. You can see they handled the spinnaker well in the picture nearing the finish line.”
Congratulations Andy and your Ballard Team!
