Island Hops Wins 2022 Halyard Challenge
The 2022 Halyard Challenge saw 8 boats take to the race course on Saturday 29 January. With light winds under 12 knots it was to be a challenging day for the six trimarans, scheduled for mixture of island racing and windward leeward courses.
Four trimarans took to the water for the first race of the 2020 calendar and it was Kevin Rowlette's Whoop Whoop who claimed line honours and the overall win.
