| Uffa Fox Challenge |
| 1930 Uffa Fox sailed from Cowes in England to Sandhamn in 17 days in S/Y Vigilant. On July this year S/Y Vixen built 1937 will start a challenge of this record. They will also study the water quality during the entire race and report to Askö Laboratoriet. BSCC is sponsoring a major regatta in Tullgarn on August 7 for Classical Yachts. |
| Three intrepid young British yachtsmen, Luke Yeates, Jack Gifford and Will Shepherd, have taken up the challenge by the Scandinavian Classic Yacht Trust, SCYT, for British classic yacht owners to retrace Uffa Fox’s famous 1000 mile, 1930 voyage from Cowes to Stockholm. Sailing the Vixen, a 1937 classic yacht, the team hope to be in Trosa, Sweden, between 3rd and 6th August 2010 for the start of the Trosa Tullgarn Royal Palace Regatta, part of a new classic series, the Baltic Classic Master Cup.
