Seawind wins annual Round the Island Race

Seawind edged fellow catamarans Bamboozle and Resolution to win the overall title in this year’s Cayman Islands Sailing Club Round the Island Race annual Easter Regatta.

The annual event, held on Good Friday, 2 April, featured 13 catamarans and monohulls battling rough seas over a 42-mile course. “The best turnout for a number of years,” CISC officials told Cayman Compass.
