GALLERY: Spirit Yachts make the most of Guernsey’s waters in six race series

Guernsey provided a stunning backdrop for a fleet of Spirit Yachts as they competed in a six race regatta.

It was the regatta’s second visit to the island after the fleet first visited in 2022.

Nine yachts and their crews sailed courses which made the most of the island's waters, including one which took them around Herm and Sark.

Class 1 was won by Gwenhyfar II after taking three wins and three seconds, one of which was discarded.

Happy Forever was able to discard a fourth place win from the fifth round and won all the other races in top Class 2.

"The fleet has had champagne sailing conditions with a variety of coastal and passage races on the water and lively socialising ashore in Guernsey and Herm," said Spirit Yachts marketing director Helen Porter.
