  LANCELOT TAKES 2ND PLACE AT GRENADA SAILING FESTIVAL
6.02.07

Britannia yacht Lancelot, a Beneteau 40.7 sponsored by international management & construction consultants Gleeds, has recorded a remarkable result in the Caribbean at the Grenada Sailing Festival. Lancelot took 2nd place overall in the racing division of the regatta, beating the highly respected DK46 Dark & Steamy into 3rd place.

Simon Boulding of Britannia Corporate Events commented:
"Britannia would like to congratulate Hugh and his crew for this fantastic result. They sailed the 40.7 above and beyond the normal performance expected from this class of yacht, competing against and beating yachts that would normally be considered much more competitive in this arena."

"We would also like to thank Gleeds for their continued sponsorship and support of Lancelot during its 2nd ARC and Caribbean campaign."


Lancelot Racing in the Grenada Sailing Festival 2007

This result builds on Lancelot's 3rd place in the racing class of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC), during which Britannia Synergy's team set a new record for a Beneteau 40.7 crossing the Atlantic, smashing the previous record by over 30 hours.

The Grenada Sailing Festival has been taking place annually since January 1994 and has grown over the years to become one of the major National events of the island and one that is known and respected throughout the Caribbean and the international sailing community. The event combines four days of yacht racing for ocean-going keelboats off the southern coast of Grenada together with a two day local Workboat Regatta off Grand Anse Beach. This unique mix of International boats and traditional wooden workboats creates a high level of interest for the event, particularly overseas.
