Carey Olsen Jersey Regatta Web Page update – 29th September 2025
Dear All
There goes the 27th edition of the combined clubs’ Jersey Regatta, the sixth kindly sponsored by leading offshore law firm Carey Olsen. Well done and a big ‘thank you’ to everyone afloat and ashore who made this great event such a success despite its having had to be rescheduled due to poor weather two weeks ago.
Just short of 70 boats competed over the three days in weather that was seriously reminiscent of that which has challenged us in recent years, light and variable in the main but, this year, with excellent sailing conditions on Saturday. Thank you, one and all, for your patience and perseverance.
Hearty congratulations to the class winners whose great efforts won them the ‘Best in Class’ prizes and, especially, to David Jones and Geoff Blackstone’s X332, Jax, and Team Fahrenheit’s Farr 727, Fahrenheit, for clinching the 12th GBR IRC Channel Islands Championships in Classes 1 and 2Q, respectively, and winning the North Sails championship prizes. Congratulations, also, to Nick Querée on winning the Channel Islands Masters Dinghy Championship that ran alongside our ‘fast’ dinghy programme.
A heartfelt vote of thanks goes to Carey Olsen, as ever, for their generosity and enthusiasm. It is, indeed, a privilege to have had them on board over the past six years. What brilliant sponsors!
We are ever grateful to Jersey Marinas for their continued support in providing complimentary berthing for the cruiser and dayboat fleets during regatta week. Thanks also go to the DfI’s Parking Control Department for the use of the temporary boat park at the RCIYC. We truly appreciate everyone’s support.
Finally, we will be making an announcement about our incoming sponsor very soon. Please make a note that the 28th edition of this flagship event is scheduled for 4th to 6th September next year.
Should you have any queries, observations or recommendations, please e-mail: info@jerseyregatta.com, in the first instance or call St Helier YC on + 44 (0) 1534 732229.
Fair winds and good sailing
