PEG LEGS, Nanny Cay, VI- Leaders were already emerging across most classes on the completion of the Mount Gay Race Day of the BVI Spring Regatta on April 4, 2025; however, while there were some changes on Day 2 on April 5, 2025, the unbeatable Warthog was not one of them.

The Reichel Pugh 37 Warthog, owned by Jim Vos and skipped by Jules Mitchell of Antigua, unsurprisingly took two bullets in CSA 1 on Friday and then captured another two on Saturday.

Warthog already won the Nanny Cay Cup, along with Airgasm, after participating in the legendary Round Tortola Race for the Nanny Cay Cup for the first time on April 1, 2025, and will now surely add another trophy to its cabinet.

The Swan 58 WaveWalker owned/skippered by Woody Cullen took two second places to finish second overall, while JAX, the custom Brooklin Boat Yard 43’er owned/skippered by Oivind Lorentzen took two third places to finish third overall.

Team McFly leads CSA 2 Racing

Tony Mack and his long-time crew on Team McFly racing the J122 El Ocaso lead in CSA 2 after taking two bullets on Saturday.

The Elan 450 Emily of Cowes, skippered by David Hall is in second.

Performance Cruising

In Performance Cruising A, a lead change today saw Kinship, a Baltic 52 skippered by Ryan Walsh, move into first and now just one point ahead of the Salona 45 Panacea. In third place is Lazy Dog, a Grand Soleil 52 owned/skippered by Sergio Sagramoso.

In Performance Cruising B, the IC24 Big Island skippered by Scott Stanton took two bullets to lead against the IC24 Bravissimo, skippered by Mike Feierabend.

Other results

In other day 2 class results, Layla, the Gunboat 72, owned/helmed by Andrew Anne, took a 2, 1 to lead the Performance Multihull class; Ting A Ling, the Corsair F27 skippered by Graham Harney leads the highly competitive Sport Multihull class, taking a 2, 1 on Saturday; Alice Martin helming the Sunsail 46 Painkiller took a 2, 1 on Saturday in a tightly contested race with Orange Breeze, also a Sunsail 46, who finished with a 1, 2 in Bareboat 1.

Dr Robin E. Tattersall, OBE prevailed in Bareboat 2, taking a 2, 1 on Jitterbug on the Horizon Yacht Charters Bavaria 37 in another tight battle with Mi Piba, the Sunsail 42 helmed by Charlie Garrard who finished the day with a 1, 2 for second place.

Clean sweep for La Novia

There were no surprises in Cruising Multihull with a clean sweep by La Novia, the Leopard 50 owned/helmed by Georges Coutu to lead in class.

In Jib & Main, Cricket, the Beneteau First 35 owned/skippered by Sandy Mair, took a 2, 1 to lead over the competitive Beneteau First 40 Libertas owned/skippered by Walter Keenan who took a 1, 2 to finish in second.

The final day of racing in the 52nd edition of the BVI Spring Regatta is today, Sunday, with the final prizegiving and party in the Regatta Village post-racing.
