Ahoy there, get ready to sail

It’s time to mark your calendars for the Parade of Lights.

Cayman 27’s annual holiday event featuring a Christmas concert and boat parade is set for 10 December at Camana Bay.

It’s not too early to register and start planning your design for either of two categories: Private and Water Sport (personal watercrafts do not qualify for stand-alone parade entry).

Judges will be looking at “wow factor”, creativity, use of colour, and overall impression, organisers said. The winning boat in each category sails away with a $2,000 prize.

Last year, Santa’s sleigh was guided by a reindeer on Lonnie Jackson’s 21-foot angler, Jackson 5, which won in the private boat category. Sunset Divers’ 38-foot V-hull Michael Fitz custom dive boat, Sunset Diver 2, took the top spot in the water sport category.
