Old Wreck Race, 2003

The 3?-mile 30-minute slog half-way from Bishop Rock to St Mary’s Quay is an impressive endurance.

The St Mary’s Golden Eagle crew won the race convincingly, followed by the Shah (St Agnes), and the Emperor (Tresco) which had done a lot of catch-up in the later stages, overtaking the other gigs after a bad start. The other gigs finished:

  1. Men-A-Vaur (Tresco/Bryher),
  2. Bonnet (St Mary’s),
  3. Czar (Tresco/Bryher),
  4. Serica (St Mary’s),
  5. Galatea (St Martin’s),
  6. Nornour (St Mary’s) and
  7. Tregarthen’s (St Mary’s novice crew).
