Holm Regatta 2024
The 75th anniversary Holm Regatta was held on 6 July 2024
The event attracted a wide variety of sailing craft from around Orkney. The main class was the one design fleet of Snipes, with a mix of local boats and travellers from Stromness.
The Lasers had some class racing with two Radials and two Standard rigged boats. Three catamarans turned out from Kirkwall showing off a bit of colour and speed, and for the fans of traditional boats there were two yoles and a skiff.
A fleet of Toppers gave some racing for the enthusiastic youngsters.
Many thanks to all the club members, visiting sailors, volunteers and helpers who made the event a success, including:
Margaret Hinckley and Isobel Tipler who did timekeeping and Edwin Flett and Willie Watters who did the race starts.
Bob Makenzie, Mike Cooper, John Tulloch, Bob Moar did safety boat cover along with a team from Stromness, Johnny Robertson and Florence Ungaro.
Various club members provided raffle prizes, prepared food and generally being organised, and of course Graham Bartlett the cluib Commodore for making it all happen. Fiona Russel looked after the registration tent and raffles with help from Ruby Foubister who also provided soup for hungry sailors at lunch time.
Orkney Sailing Club for bringing toppers and junior competitors.
Craig Bruce for all his efforts with Toppers and other boats on Wednesday evenings, as well as John Orr who has helped with training for the juniors in the Toppers as well as the Laser sailors.
Visiting sailors who made the effort to take their boats to race.

Stromness Regatta 2024
Stromness Regatta was held on Saturday 20 July. Two races were held. Conditions were very light at the start of the first race, the start line being sheltered by the Holms. Once out in the bay the breeze was fresher and conditions improved through the day. The event was sponsored by Swanney Brewery.
There was a good fleet of Snipes which started along with the Lasers. Three Lasers took part in the event, one Radial and two Full Rigs. The start of the first race was a drift with almost no wind to get the competitors across the line. Once the boats cleared the shelter of the holms the conditions improved and the breeze settled in to give fine sailing conditions.

Allcomers
The Allcomers race had the same course as the morning race but with a bit more breeze. The first snipes all finished within a few seconds, although Go Faster Blue had an altercation at the finish line and was subsequently disqualified. The rest of the fleet were more spread out, with Thunderball finishing last across the line (although the Laser Radial has the bigest handicap so not last on corrected time).

Allcomers
The course was reversed for the Allcomers race which gave a beat to the windward mark in the bay followed by a run and then a fast reach across and a long beat back up to the windward mark. The fresher conditions made for a tough race. Thunderball (Joshua Brown) got off to a good start in the Allcomers race but capsized and ended up with a mainsheet problem which set him back fair bit. Among the Snipes there was very close racing with No Fear (Neil Foubister and Lee Clouston) eventually finishing ahead of Il Mostro (John Orr and Sid Milton), after many place changes. Warspite (Andrew Leslie) took the win, first across the line and first on handicap. Kammie Kassie was close behind in 2 place. 3 place and first Snipe went to Nor Fear.

Kirkwall Regatta 2024
The main event of Kirkwall Regatta was held on Saturday 3 August 2024, with a pursuit race on Friday evening to kick off the proceedings. The 2024 Kirkwall Reegatta was kindly sponsored by Kirkjuvagr Gin. The event was a great success with a good turn out of boats and good quality racing over the weekend. Boats turned out from various local clubs including Westray, Holm and Stromness.
The pursuit race was a timed race of 90 minutes for handicap boats. Each class of boat starts at a different time and the boat positions after 90 minutes gives the places. The course set was a start heading south and laps round the Lifeboat Buoy, Weyland (2) then Greenfield (3), Crowness (4) and back through the start.
On Saturday the main regatta races were held, with a single class race in the morning followed by a break for lunch and then two handicap races in the afternoon. The racing was organised from a committee vessel moored in the East side of the Bay and a laid start line, the course was run from the start around the fixed racing marks in the bay and then back to the committee boat to finish.
During the lunch break the course was changed to take account of a change in wind direction but the afternoon breeze was very changeable and patchy.
After the racing the weary sailors were treated to hot soup and sandwiches in the Girnel and trophies were awarded.
Many thanks to Bruce Leask and John Manson who came down from Shetland and helped with the event. Thanks are also due to many other volunteers involved with the racing, including safety boat drivers (from Stromness and Holm Sailing Clubs), race officials, club officials and of course the event sponsors Kirkyuvagr Gin.
