BANKS Esperanza positioned itself among the early contenders for the J24 National Sailing Championship when it won the 2013 CGI Regatta last weekend in Carlisle Bay.
The Esperanza crew, skippered by Ian Mayers, was in outstanding form in the ocean racing event, dominating the second day of the two-day regatta Sunday.
Following a second place and two fourth-place finishes last Saturday, Esperanza enjoyed the conditions on the final day while registering victories in race four and six.
Sailors contested the second regatta of the J24 Club season in conditions that featured medium to high winds, ranging between 14 and 16 knots, with a strong current from the south.
