Regatta Round-Up - Winners take it All! - The 2007 BVI Spring Regatta and Sailing Festival drew to a close on Sunday 1st April with great cheers after a week of blood, sweat and tears from the crews of 149 competing boats. First time BVI Regatta visitor ABN Amro One blitzed the opposition in the Spinnaker Racing A with a string of flawless first finishes. But the BVI stood proud as Peter Haycraft brought Pipe Dream home ahead of the field in the Racer-Cruiser class. Peter hasn’t missed a BVI Spring Regatta since its inception – that’s a lot of racing.
