The 2010 - 24 Hour
Yacht Race
THIS year’s 24 Hour Race on
Southport Marine Lake, over 11 September to 12 September 2010 was a
huge success. Even though there were a few boats less than last
year, this race brought in teams from all over the world once again,
including a team made up from the Olympic training team, Team GB -
Going For Gold. That team was the 470 Class Assoc. and they came in
first place by completing 112 laps, with second place going to South
Staffordshire S.C. who did 108 laps. The first place Lark was South
Staffordshire S.C. B also with 108 laps, but over all they came in
3rd place. The first place for the Enterprises was Sole Sailor
Racing Assoc. completing a staggering 105 laps over the 24 hours and
over all coming in at 8th place. Even though the race is sailed on
what West Lancashire yacht club describes as "relatively safe
waters", it does not make the sailing any easier. This year,
the race was affected by extremely changeable weather conditions,
from rain to sun and high winds, making even the slightest mistake
problematic. Quite a few boats capsized and had to be rescued over
the night, making this race once of the most taxing in recent years
for the crews. "It was hard going and we all made mistakes on
the water, and some of us off the water as well." one of the
teams who had just finished joked. To see the full results of
the race and to find out more about it, or even to enter a team and
possibly compete with Olympic teams, click on to the WLYC
