After thanking the race committee, sponsors and all the very willing and able volunteers who made the event so enjoyable, and welcoming the British High Commissioner, John Hamilton, the Antigua Yacht Club commodore, Clarence Pilgrim, Senator Philip Shoul and Ann Marie Martin of National Parks, eight bells and a moment’s silence was held in memory of the regatta’s head of “everything wet” Clare Cupples who sadly passed away last autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
