We thought you might like to see these great photos of the Sparkman and Stephens classic ‘Sunstone’ from the recent BCYC British Classic Week.
You may remember we featured this legendary yacht arriving at Fox’s having organised her shipping from New Zealand during lockdown. She was then re-rigged and following a minor refit earlier this year, put back into race mode.
The hard work has paid off as she came 4th in the competitive Class II – a pleasing result for the boat’s first serious south coast outing with a new crew. The BCYC event attracts some fabulous yachts and is a great mix of competitive IRC racing and socialising. Sunstone was in the exceptional company of a great fleet of well-sailed classics, including several other east coast boats who picked up overall prizes.
