Race 2 Friday 12th September. Bandito in second place mixing it with the big class 1 boys.

In early September Baker Stickland and Baker Stickland Environmental combined forces to mount our

1st ever forage into the Little Britain Challenge Cup, and what a great event. Despite the lack of wind over the Friday and Saturday the organisers managed to get four races out of the five completed and much more besides.

The event is specifically for the Construction Industry and is the second biggest Sailing Regatta in the UK, second only to Cowes week.

Held at Cowes, and utilising the amazing Solent waters, the 21st Little Britain was a resounding success with 247 boats taking part and over 2000 crew. The logistics of organising the racing the catering and the BAR…………….was magnificently managed by the LBCC committee, staff and contractors.

Baker Stickland, and their yacht Bandito, managed, despite a mixed ability crew, and a poor start, to go from 11th on the Thursday to a magnificent 3rd overall in IRC class 2, showing how much improvement the crew made in such a limited number of races. Even the LBCC media boys were impressed……………..
